The apartment had everything we needed and was close to lots of cafes, bars and restaurants. It is a short walk to everything we needed for our visit and a half hour or so less walk to San Marco. The apartment is quiet but 5 mins walk from everything you need. Very safe area too. Venice more than lived up to our expectations and the Vaparetto stop is less than 10 mins walk for the airport.We found Venetians very helpful and friendly and patient with our attempts to speak some Italian. Would recommend Luca's apartment, the bed was very comfortable , everything was spotless and very clean and it was nice to sit in the garden in the evening , have a drink and discuss our day. Plenty of hot water and a washing maching if you need it. Everything you need for cooking, Luca's father lives upstairs if you have any queries and we were able to stay on a couple of hours to await our flight. Thank you Luca, we had a fabulous time
