Francesca was a wonderful host. Before arriving she sent us very useful, accurate instructions of how to find her apartment from the bus station.
The room was newly redecorated, clean and very comfortable with everything we needed; plenty of space for our belongings, extra pillows and blankets and water glasses.
The bathroom was shared with one other room. It was immaculate and clearly laid out as there were two basins, hooks and drawers (one set for each room). The shower was wonderful and shower gel, shampoo and conditioner were all provided, there was even a hairdryer in the bathroom.
There was a small area with a fridge, kettle, bottles of filtered water and tea available at all times. Each morning we were provided with breakfast in the lovely garden of croissants, jam, toast, homemade yoghurt, coffee and juice. Francesca couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome, it was a fantastic stay.
The location is on the island of Giudecca which is well linked to the main area of Venice through the water buses which run very frequently. Number 2 takes you to most areas of the city. It was nice to come back to the quiet of Giudecca after a day in the busy areas! There are also some great restaurants, a laundry, supermarkets, green grocers and bakeries on the island.
All in all we couldn't recommend staying at Francesca's Air B&B enough. If we return to Venice we will stay with her again!
