Location: Awesome, right off the super touristy "strip" but an easy walk, and going the "other" (east) way there was an uncrowded road with some awesome restaurants and cheaper convenience stores. It's a 5 minute walk to saint peter's church, and probably 15-20 to the main canal and rialto bridge.

We really enjoyed the location, prime spot and made us feel happy to have after a day or so of walking around and seeing how packed the streets can get.

Accommodations: The apartment is very clean, a bit dark (dark woods everywhere) and on the 4th floor if I remember correctly. The stairs weren't full sets, but half sets that rounded up and up. The bed was very large, and fairly comfortable, maybe a little stiff, maybe I had just been walking a ton!

There's a stand up air conditioning unit that isn't too useful unless you point the exhaust out of a window. The accents are charming, and the apartment is well decorated, and very "homey" feeling.

The kitchen was decent sized and well stocked of general items (oils, spices, butter) for us to buy necessities and be comfortable if we wanted to. It had a stand up smaller shower only, but very clean, and the bathroom door actually had a really cool stain glass design going for it.

There's windows everywhere and on a nice day you can hear sounds of the city, water, and get a nice breeze. There's also 2 fans in the apartment.

There's labels everywhere in English for lights, keys, how things work, it's very very "user" friendly. There are pictures of local spots with some broken English or a drawn map on the back for some very "local" spots, the first restaurant recommended to us was our favorite. Gelato is within 3-4 minutes walking.

The internet was workable but very weak, about 1.5MB download, .5-.7 upload. There is a supplied PC laptop in the apartment but we actually didn't use it due to bringing our own devices.

Very comfortable, very safe, very easy. There was a bottle of champagne waiting for us!

Luca: Very responsive, very friendly, although we didn't get a chance to see him, I believe his cleaning lady was the one who led us up and let us in, which wasn't a problem. I called him on Skype through my iPhone when we got there, and she (I forget her name) showed up a few minutes later with a bright smile and gladly let us in and showed us around.

It was an excellent stay! We completely enjoyed it!
