My daughter and I loved Francesco’s apartment. It is very spacious and full of charm. We especially loved the view of the canal from the kitchen window, with gondoliers guiding their gondolas along the narrow waterway. And we appreciated the breakfast foods Francesco had for us as well as the large bathtub that soothed our tired bodies. At the time Francesco accepted our reservation, the apartment was available only on weekends. Since then, it has more availability, and we wish we could have extended our stay, but we had booked another place. Francesco is very helpful. He met us at the vaporetto stop at Fondamente Nove and guided us to the apartment, which was a great help because it is easy to get lost in Venice. There are stairs to the apartment, no elevator, but even with my bad knees, I negotiated them. I highly recommend this apartment in the residential Cannaregio area, a welcome respite from the hoards of tourists. Thank you, Francesco, for a most pleasant Venice experience.
