Overall we had great experience both with Luca and the apartment. Here are few take outs:
Cons:
- It is advertised without washing machine, dishwasher and aircon. These are minor issues for short stay, but still
- No lock on the bathroom door
Pros:
- Location. It's really impossible to overstate how great the location is. On one hand it's a quiet neighbourhood and feels like suburb. No loud tourists, no all-night-long parties and such like. On the other hand it's 20 minutes walk to St. Marco square along the bank, 3 minutes walk to the St Elena bus station. Park is just outside the building. 4 nice local restaurants within 5 minutes walk. Even local churches are not close enough to wake you up with the bells in the morning.
- Apartment is spacious. We are family of 5 and had plenty of space for everybody.
- Few small things which were quite nice: ice forms in the freezer (used them a lot), spare umbrellas in the closet (didn't need them), plenty of tableware for cooking, eating and drinking
- Didn't need to contact Luca on any occasion. Water was flowing, everything was working fine
So overall we had quite a positive experience. Again, location of this apartment is worth all the small issues
