This was the perfect location and so romantic being on a canal with gondolas passing. Francesca was lovely leaving fruit, chocolate and milk for the kids. It is difficult on arrival navigating Venice but once you find the place, it is perfect! We found using apple maps more efficient than using google maps around the narrow streets. We made the mistake on arrival of missing the first narrow alley maps told us to turn down after getting off the vaperetto. Turn down it and it opens to a larger square and takes you straight to Francesca’s place. Navigating Venice is easy once you get used to the small corridors and Francesca’s place was in the perfect location for a mom traveling alone with two kids!
