Luca's place was fabulous. It is a wonderful whole apartment with quaint decor that makes it vintage-esque. This was a great spot to stay on our honeymoon - one of our favorites! It is away from the city center, nestled in the green parks at the eastern edge of Venice, and easy walk to transportation, restaurants, groceries, and sites. We appreciated the little touches - like having coffee!! (The seafood restaurant around the corner was one of 2 "not great meals" we had in 15 days in Italy. But there are 2 other restaurants in the housing area, as well as a pharmacy, etc.)
Luca met us and clearly explained everything, gave us directions to the grocery store and advice on the water taxis. The bed was comfortable, the room was spacious, the neighborhood and building were quiet. I really couldn't have asked for anything more!
