Luca's wife met us at the water bus stop and walked us to the flat, which after traveling all morning makes you feel welcome and cared for. The flat is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Pictures don't capture how lovely it really is. We took a nap when we arrived(after being allowed to check in early)with the windows open listening to the sounds of Venice. Priceless. Flat is "far ish" from sights, about 30 mins of leisurely walking to piazza San Marco. However, being a little removed from the touristy part of town allowed us to see a beautiful side of this wonderful destination. Such as markets and pastry shops where the owners speak mostly(only) Italian! Overall a genuinely unforgettable experience.
