Lucia's B&B is in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The location is excellent for catching the water bus and the airport water bus (only a few bridges). We especially liked that the apartment is the REAL Venice--14th century. The room is divided well for sleeping, eating, and visiting. The shower is a bit small, but very functional. We did not use the outside patio since it was cool the days we were there. However, on summer days, it would be perfect for morning coffee and tea. If you are expecting the Ritz Carlton, you will be disappointed; but if you want to feel as if you are in Venice, this is a perfect setting.
