Our stay at Francesco’s apartment exceeded all of our expectations. We had so much room to spread out and be comfortable. The location couldn’t have been better. It was so convenient to get home for the evening, even if your GPS didn’t take you the right way :-). Just follow the signs to the Rialto bridge.

Francesco contacted us ahead of the stay to make sure everything was set up correctly and to provide some guidance on getting to the apartment. He then met us at the water taxi station to guide us to the apartment. Before he left, he went over a lot of information about Venice, to include restaurant suggestions, how to get around and some great sites to see. Finally, he offered to text us suggestion throughout our stay, which we took advantage of several times. His response time is really fast. He is a super host!
That apartment was perfectly clean, well stocked and very spacious. There are grocery stores within a minute or two walk to get some groceries and/or drinks for your stay.
One last thing, Francesco gave us a gelato recommendation for Suso gelato. Best gelato ever. Get some of that for sure.
