I had a nice stay at Ludo's place for my time in Venice. I was greeted at the train station by Ludo and even had a welcome drink. He was very pleasant and helpful with all his suggestions. The apartment was clean and close to the bus stop (15 minutes to Venice Island). The only drawback was that Ludo's wife was shouting on the phone late at night on two of nights. All in all, good value for what I paid for.
