Fran is the perfect host ! He went out of his way on more than one occasion to help me. He greeted me at the bus station even though it was late and helped me with my heavy bag. He provided information to make the most of my stay in Venice. The apartment was perfect for me, ideally situated and great for a solo traveller. I would highly recommend this apartment which has all the facilities you would need. Being a lone female traveller I could recommend this place to other solo females needing a safe place to stay in Venice.
