Francesca is an amazing host and her apartment is fabulous! The location is perfect: close to the Rialto and tourist locations in Venice while being nestled down a cosy side street away form the crowds. We felt like locals. Francesca has equipped the apartment with all the modern amenities you need in a very cosy and comfortable, yet modern, apartment. There were venetian biscuits in the kitchen as well as cold drinks (much needed in the heat!) and there was a great selection of tea and coffee pods/coffee pod machine as well. The two modern bathrooms are excellent. She has great attention to detail and you will not be wanting any item during her stay. The AC was much appreciated, but it was also nice to open the new windows and adjust the great shutters so you could peak into neighbouring courtyards and hear locals speak Italian from their terraces.
We were a few minutes walk from an excellent Venetian street food vendor - Acqua & Mais - they have excellent seafood choices! Go for the sarde e saor! We were an easy ten minute walk to the Rialto bridge and only ten more minutes to St Mark's square. There is a nearby vaportetto stop (San Toma) as well.
I highly recommend Francesca's apartment! Francesca is very east to reach by text and she responds immediately.
Grazie, Francesca!
