Luca's place was the perfect place to stay in Venice. Close to everything and yet in a quiet neighborhood one block from the main canal. Luca has everything a traveler might need--it was the most well-equiped apartment we've been to. It was clean and had a superbly comfortable bed. Even the tiny lift was a nice surprise after lugging around suitcases for two weeks. Luca's mother greeted us with a homemade pastry and was full of warmth and kindness. Highly recommended!
