Luca is very good at communicating and giving you advice about where to eat around Mestre and around Venice. From the moment we got there he was very hospitable. He helped my husband carry our heavy luggage all the way up to his unit and he even let us do some laundry that we needed done. He let us borrow a very in depth map of Venice which really helped us when we got lost. He is an all around nice and genuine person. One thing I do have to say is that I wish there was a fan in our bedroom. It was so hot we had to sleep with the windows wide open and all the mosquitoes came in and bit us numerous times. Other than needed shower shoes/sandals and needing a fan in our room, our stay in Mestre was good! I recommend eating at this place down the street from Luca’s called Columbus pizzeria! Thank you again, Luca!
