My wife and I were thrilled with Luca's apartment and it all started being greeted on the docks by a smiling Luca. It was nice to have such a warm welcome and listen to how proud Luca was of his amazing city and his family's long heritage.
As for the apartment, I'd suggest that if Luca had availability, don't look any further. This place is gorgeous and huge! The apartment was spotless and we couldn't of dreamt of a better place to stay in Venice.
The neighborhood is extremely quiet and central to everything in Venice. It is a short walk to the docks to catch a water taxi or St. Mark's Square.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Luca's apartment and the only bad part was we only stayed there for 3 days! Thank you for everything Luca and we hope to come back!!
