From the moment we arrived at Francesca's wonderful home on the canal, it was a pleasure. She gave us fantastic directions from the airport and had a friend come to let us in when we arrived earlier (very uncommon for us) than expected. The room we had faced the canal and though it got warm during the day (when we were out exploring) the fan in the room made it very pleasant at night. The house is on Giudecca, which is an island just across the water from all the big attractions. We loved it because it was a quiet place to come home to after a long day, but an easy five minute water taxi from all the big sights. One of the best parts about the room is that it comes with homemade breakfast from Francesca in the beautiful garden. Croissants, cappuccino, yogurt, etc. Not to be missed. There are also adorable kittens running around the yard if you're in to that sort of thing! What else... The bathroom is new and lovely. Biggest shower I've seen in all our BnBs in Europe. There is another room in the house and they would usually share the bathroom, but we were the only ones there during our stay, which was great. We highly recommend this amazing spot and hope to be back soon.
