Even before we booked, Luca answered all my questiones patiently. The house was very clean, Luca's mom met us at the water stop and walked us to the flat. It's big and comfortable. Due to the time period we were there (september 9-11) it wasn't too hot and there weren't flies. The only thing is if you have too much luggage it can be difficult to get them upstairs (Its the second floor) but you only do it twice anyway so it wasn't a big deal for us. We would definitely stay there again. We felt like true Venetians, There was a boat which sell fruiets and vegetables close by and a market and cafes to get breakfast. It was away from all the touristic noise. We only had one problem: my sisters feet were aching due to a personal matter and it was hard to walk around the city and harder to walk back at night. The small distance wouldn't matter if it weren't for that, for it's only 20 minutes walk from the main attractions. We definately recommend this apartment!
