Francesca is a lovely host - friendly, helpful, warm and a very good communicator with a good command of English (a real plus for Aussies like us). She was very rsponsive to any questions we asked and went to a lot of trouble to make our stay enjoyable. We really enjoyed getting to know Francesca and her lovely parents.
The apartment is immaculate and very well appointed. Extrememly comfortable. The location for us was perfect - close enough to get to San Marco in about 10 minutes' walking but removed from the tourist crush - at least in Winter when we were there.
We'd really recommend you have a talk to Francesca at the start of your stay as she is a wealth of information about places to eat and shop, local tour guides, Murano glass and pretty well any other question you may have about Venice.
