When I was looking for a place to rent for an entire week in Venice I did a lot of research – I wanted something in a less touristy Venetian area and one with easy access from the airport. As I read reviews and checked out pictures, I kept coming back to Luca’s place because it sounded wonderful – and I can assure you it was that and more! With just 2.5 bridges to cross from the Fondamente Nove stop and a short walking distance to Rialto or San Marco, we spent a great week exploring and getting lost in Venice with this modern and cozy and well equipped apartment as our home base – one of the best Airbnbs we have encountered in our travels to date. We enjoyed the special touches – like the bottle of wine and the many expresso coffees for our use as well as Luca’s warm and thoughtful communications with local suggestions that made our stay even better. Perfectly located for a day trip to Burano and Murano or strolling down the Strada Nova or just watching gondalas float by your front door - I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed if you decide to stay here!
