This is a stunning place to stay in a lovely part of Venice. We have visited the city several times before and wanted a special place for our tenth anniversary. Francesca's place was perfect. It's in a much less touristy part of the city, Castello, and simultaneously feels hidden away while also having shops, bakeries, restaurants, etc. within a few metres of the front door. The vaporetto stop is a few minutes walk away but it's just as easy to walk into St Mark's or anywhere else (about 30 minutes gentle stroll). The sun terrace is an incredible place to have breakfast, the bed was super comfortable and the flat very well provisioned. Francesca was also an excellent and most accommodating host. We would love to come back!
