I stayed in Luze and Paolo's apartment for four nights.
The apartment is in a beautifully restored 15th century building on the second floor. Communicating with Luze before I arrived was smooth and easy. Paolo met me at the bus station and we walked together to the apartment. As it was over several bridges he thoughtfully helped with my luggage.
After Paolo had shown me through the apartment he kindly marked on the map the location of good restaurants, a supermarket, how to get to the train station for my departure and also where I needed to be later in the day for a tour. Being new to Venice this was of great help to me.
The apartment looked even better than the photos and was very clean. It's been tastefully decorated. The bed was comfortable. They'd left thoughful touches such as sparkling wine in the fridge, bottle of water, croissants, milk and a Nespresso machine including pods for great coffee. Wifi was reliable in all rooms. There were also umbrellas at the front entrance in case of rain.
The apartment is very conveniently located in an non traditional tourist area which I appreciated. It was lovely to be away from the Tourist crowds. There's plenty of restaurants nearby. It took me about 20 mins walk with luggage to reach the train station and about 20 mins to San Marco Piazza (bearing in mind there's limited bridges to cross the Grand Canal). The apartment is about half way between Accademia and Rialto Bridges.
I loved every moment of my stay with Luze & Paolo. They were very friendly and helpful with anything I needed. I would love to stay there again and will highly recommend it to my family & friends. Venice is a beautiful city. I will return!
Grazie Mille Luze and Paolo. Arrivederci
