Luca was a lovely host, very friendly, met us immediately and gave us lots of info and local knowledge. The area was really good, near a boat stop at the far end of Venice in a neighbourhood area, thankfully away from noise, bustle and heat and we found some great restaurants and cafes nearby which were untouristy and good. Ideal if you want a bit of peace after the bustle of the centre and literally next door to the Biennale.
