Francesco's place was just want we needed for our trip to Venice. It is about a 30 minute boat ride to St. Marks and you can walk to the vaporetto stop in 10 minutes.

The place had a very antiquey feel about it, which added to the charm. The room was clean and we had our private bathroom across the hall. Francesco was very accommodating and let us borrow some plates and utensils for our food. And was able to supply us with a heavier blanket since the weather was getting cooler.

Breakfast was also offered every morning in the common dining area where you can converse with other travelers staying here.

There is also an adorable playful kitten in the building. But don't get too close to her because she won't want to leave you.

Overall, our stay here was pleasant and I would recommend this place.
