Francesca's apartment in Venice was one of the best apartments we stayed in during our 2.5 week stay in Italy! The apartment was spacious with one lovely bathroom for each room, the kitchen had everything we needed and more, and the heating worked perfectly and kept the whole apartment warm and toasty. The apartment even had a nice garden (very rare in Venice) where we would go to have an espresso in the afternoons while taking a break from all the walking. The location of the apartment is really great, only a 5-minute walk to the vaporetto stop of San Stae, which is very centrally located. Francesca herself was such a lovely host. She was constantly in touch with us while we were trying to make our way to the apartment on our first day, and was there to greet us when we arrived. She even went out of her way to help us buy a Moka pot like the one she had in her apartment, which was so nice of her. And even though we left very early in the morning, she made sure to come to the apartment to say goodbye. The only drawbacks I can think of were that the WIFI didn't work the whole time we were there (but we didn't really make it an issue, I'm sure Francesca would have come and fixed it if we had asked), and the beds were somewhat harder than we're used to. But this was really nothing in light of all the positives about the place. All in all, a really wonderful experience, and I fully recommend this apartment to anyone!
