Very charming apartment with a fantastic view of the Grand Canal. As a family of four we were very comfortable and found everything we needed. Olympia (Francesca's sister) was an attentive and welcoming host and provided many helpful suggestions for restaurants and attractions. Little personal touches like panettone and sparkling wine to greet us made us feel at home. Tip for those sleeping in the front room--be sure to close the external shutters at night to shut out the noise of the boat traffic on the canal. Sadly we didn't figure this out until our second day. We slept much better after this discovery.
