Location, location, location! Just far enough away from the Grand Canal to be away from the crowds, but close enough to walk everywhere. The flat is down the street straight across from the Arsenale and then 3 streets to the right. Luca's apartment is very clean and comfortable. The bedroom is airconditioned which was perfect during the hot hot weather. What I hope is contructive critisism - It would be nice if Luca provided more than one roll of TP and some extra kitchen towels. Also, some info on how to use the appliances and some basic info on Venice (like where to shop for essentials). We had a great 4 night stay and would recommend it to anyone visiting this beautiful city.
