We really enjoyed our stay at Francesca's place. It is the perfect location, in the heart of San Marco. It was clean, spacious and provided everything we needed. The porch was perfect for morning coffee and the windows open up to a canal where you can see and hear the gondolas. We loved the location being in San Marco... the other side of the canal seemed to be much more touristy. Many cute restaurants and shops nearby. Had a great time!
