Francesca's apartment was in a great location - its a 4 minute walk to the boat stop from Marco Polo airport - while also being right beside some lovely restaurants which were less touristy than those San Marco but where we had no problems despite very limited Italian. We were easily able to walk to all main attractions and shops in Venice.
The apartment itself has windows that open onto a canal so that added to Venitian experience. There was also a storage room for luggage before checking in which was handy. The apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, linen was fresh, big comfy bed and everything worked and was easy to use. It is very well maintained.
There is a bit of hustle and bustle from the restsurants on the canal in the evenings which we liked and created some atmosphere, but otherwise its in a quiet neighbourhood.
If we are in Venice in the future we would stay here again.
