Luca met us at the waterbus stop and walked us to the apartment- such a lovely gesture that is really meaningful in Venice- as when you first arrive it is a little hard to find where you are going! We had good communication before our trip, during and at the close. Luca was always very polite, friendly and responsive. The apartment was super clean, very comfortable and also quiet at night considering how close it was to busier areas. We took advantage of many of Luca's restaurant and bakery/coffee recommendations and thoroughly enjoyed them and appreciated a locals expertise. Luca keeps a booklet of recommendations in the apartment that we referred to a few times and really appreciated his effort to make us feel welcome and to find wonderful places to eat nearby as well as get a basic orientation to Venice. The apartment is close to 2 waterbus stops that are easy to get to as well. I would highly recommend Luca as a host and this apartment for your stay in Venice.
