Lucia was a great host, excellent communication, very welcoming and so kind. On our arrival she had provided lots of breakfast foods- eggs, bread, jam, milk, coffee, yoghurt and more as well as a bottle of prosecco. The roses were a lovely touch. She gave us excellent advice about getting around and places to go. The apartment was lovely- full of character and tastefully decorated - beautiful Venetian light fittings. It is small and cosy but very well equipped, not only with kitchen items but Lucia left a small selection of toiletries too. The bed was very comfortable and the area is quiet so we slept like babies! The apartment is in such a good location- as I said it's quiet but only 3 minutes walk to the Main Street with shops, restaurants, supermarkets, ATMs, vaporetto and our favourite deli called Rizzo where we got many a meal and treat to take back to the apartment.
The apartment was also very central to everything else - about 6 minutes walk to Rialto, and ditto for the boat to the airport and to Murano/Burano.
We were so glad we got Lucia and Riccardo 's apartment- if we go back to Venice we'd definitely stay there again. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you Lucia!
