We have booked Luca’s Forte 99 expecting a very luxurious apartment as displayed by the very well taken photos and the great recommendations. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed upon our arrival, since everything was in fact very cheap looking (would’t be bothered by it, if the photos wouldn’t suggest something very different). It seems almost like a facade with poor furniture, paper like walls and a plastic bathroom. The room has space enough for two people and the bike-decor is very nice. Unfortunately, the equipment wasn’t too great: we were missing soap in the bathroom, a kitchen towel (had to use one of the given four towels which were still wet when we arrived) and toilet paper (half a roll is just not enough for 4 nights). The apartment seemed clean except for the toilet and some dishes. Additionally there seems to be something wrong with the lock, since we were told not to lock it with the room key, which didn’t feel very safe (nothing happened though). We recommend checking the apartments location beforehand since its approximately 30min by bus/train to central Venezia. It is possible to take day trips from Venezia Mestre (25min by foot) to other Italian cities like Verona or Bologna - that was great. Unfortunately our plans changed due to personal circumstances and we requested to leave a night early a few days ahead but Luca denied our request, which is understandable - just not very flexible for guests. Sadly we haven’t met him personally to discuss things since it’s all self check in and out, which is obviously great for flexibility. All in all we were okay happy with our stay - our relatively „bad“ review is due to the fact that the very many good recommendations and the very appealing pictures give rise to false expectations and we just think its fair to know what to expect. We would choose to stay there again anyways, we just hope the minor inconveniences might be cleared for future guests. Thanks for having us!
