We had a lovely stay with Luca. Venice was our first stop on a backpacking trip and Luca offered (for a small fee) to pick us up at the airport. On the drive to his place, he gave us lots of great tips on getting around and the best restaurants. He even gave us a map and marked places that we might want to go. He wasn't around all the time, but was ready to make us breakfast every morning before venturing into Venice. The room was clean and comfortable. We'd definitely stay with him again!
