Fran met me near the train station when my train got in at night. I really appreciated that!! He was welcoming and friendly. The apartment was nice and the bed was really comfortable. I slept better than I have in a while!! Since there’s a couple of people staying there it seemed like doors were opening and closing often at night/early morning so sometimes that woke me up. You get a key to your room so I felt very safe. The location is near the train station and in a quieter part of town. It was nice to experience that part of Venice away from the busyness. It was about a 20min walk to the main areas. He also lets you leave your things after check out which is appreciated too.
