Luca is a great host. Friendly, funny and very knowledgeable and helpful with things to do on Venice as well as the history. We took all of his recommendations and tried them whether on the mainland or Venice island or the surrounding cities. All great recommendations!! He makes you feel comfortable in your stay. I stayed with my two teenage daughters for 4 nights. Casa Lunia is safe and secure as well as the area it is located in - Mestre. Our room was beautifully decorated, very clean, spacious, windows to brighten the day, with a large bathroom. Bathroom was equipped with a hairdryer, toiletries, plush towels, a large tub/shower. Wi-fi was excellent. Breakfast was always delicious and the conversation at the table always rich. Loved the library of books to read as well. Close to bus stop, very short walk to restaurants and shopping. Short bus ride to bus and train station...although we walked some times to enjoy the local sites. Casa Lunia was clean, open and inviting located on its own little piece of property. I can't say enough good things about our stay. Highly recommend staying at Casa Lunia with Luca!!
