We had a fantastic 5 night stay at Francesca’s apartment. Francesca met us at apartment and gave us a tour. The apartment is exactly as listed. Bigger than pictures show. Very clean and all new from floors to ceiling. The washer and dryer and dishwasher were great extras. The elevator was spacious and worked well. The view from this apartment is amazing. The windows in the 2 bedrooms overlook the small canal. Gondolas pass by constantly. Quiet in the apartment. New windows. Can open and pull down screen. Great location. Few minutes to San Marco and Rialto bridge. 2 minutes to vaporetto stop. Would definitely rent again.
Few things to note:
Air conditioner is wonderful but located in hallway between 2 bedrooms. We closed our bedroom door the first night and woke up roasting.
Buy a vaporetto pass. It allows you to hop on and off easily and amazing grand canal views. We enjoyed just riding up and down and to the islands near by.
Bring some mosquito repellant. There are 2 Rialto stops on vaporetto. We got off to early and had to carry our luggage up over the bridge. Pack light. You won’t need it and we be happy not to lug it around. The restaurant below the apartment is very good. We ate there twice. I would give this apartment a 10/10. It was perfect for us.
