Francesca's apartment is exactly as pictured. Very easy to get around and 15-20 min walk to most of the main sites. Venice is mainly a walking city so the location worked for us (we walked a LOT). It's located behind a nice Piazza in a quiet residential side street. Coop supermarket is right on the corner along with other restaurants and cafes which we didn't try. Really good Michellin recommended restaurant 5 min from apartment - La Zucca (menu has a large emphasis on vegetables along with meat - make a reservation). You can buy laundry detergent, and body wash, etc from the corner supermarket. Some might have difficulty with the shower curtain as the curtain rod mechanism doesn't allow for much room if you don't want to splash water. We are average build and made it work. This apartment was clean and a great base for our trip. Francesca answered all questions and her lovely parents met us to check in. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Thanks!
