We thoroughly;y enjoyed our four day/three night stay in Venice. Luciano made everything so easy for us starting with regular communication leading up to our visit and superb directions to the apartment! Giancarlo welcomed us immediately upon our arrival and gave us a tour of the apartment to show us how everything worked. The neighborhood in Dorsoduro was just what we were looking for, a vibrant area near the university with lots of action at the cafes and bars but, tucked away so that when we were in the apartment it was nice and quiet! There are even some nice markets nearby.

Luciano is a great host and was kind enough to leave us with water, coffee and everything we would want for breakfast and some snacks. The apartment is exactly like the photos and very clean. Two bedrooms, a nice clean bathroom with a roomy shower and a spotless kitchen with a great stove for those who like to cook (we actually ate all of our meals out though). It was also nice to have a fairly large living area from which to plan our daily agenda.

I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who wants more of a local Venice neighborhood away from the throngs of tourists in St. Mark's Square. It is easy enough to get to all of the sights by hopping on the nearby vaporetti and you can feel like you are living just like a local! Grazie Luciano!!! We hope to return someday.
