Lucia's place is just as advertised- very classy, clean and spacious. The beds and linen are very comfy and the bathroom feels brand new. It's in a nice location- there is a good, friendly local restaurant at the end of the alleyway that joins the nearest canal, can't find its name but it has good food/atmosphere/winelist. It's not an excessively touristy area, which is a relief! but is very close to the panoramic views of the waterside across the Guiadecca Island- which is lovely for a stroll and the waterside resturants do pretty good pizza. Lucia's partner Roberto met us from the bus and he was a super-charming introduction to Venice.
