We loved our stay in this beautiful apartment and would stay again. The living room was a very comfortable place to spend our evenings and plan our next day's tour. We appreciated that it was brightly lit so we could read our books. Luca is a great host. Very welcoming and helpful and his English is excellent. He met us at the train and arranged for a porter to take our bags to the apartment. I highly recommend you get a porter. We only had a carry-on each but with the bridges to cross and the stairs to the apt., having a porter was great. Luca also recommended nearby restaurants, a bakery and arranged a water taxi to take us to the airport when we left.
There are 3 bedrooms and a sofa bed in its own alcove/den. There are 2 bathrooms, both well-equipped. One of them has a real shower stall, which we were thrilled to have. The other is a combo tub w/shower head for those who like tubs. There are beautiful terrazzo floors throughout. A word of warning: do not wear socks on the floor, you will slip. Go barefoot or wear shoes. The air conditioning works well; so does the wi-fi. There are 73 steps to climb. It's definitely a challenge if you're older, but a good way to work off all the gelatos we ate.
The apartment is in a good location on a charming canal, close to the train station and vaporetto stop so you can easily get to the Accademia, Rialto, Piazza San Marco. There's a small supermarket on the bottom floor of the building, which is extremely convenient. There is a small bridge close to the apartment directly across from a bar/restaurant. Unfortunately people often hang out on the bridge with their drinks at night talking and singing loudly. It's the only drawback to the apt, but everything else is so wonderful: the views, the well-appointed rooms--most especially Luca--that I would happily stay there again.
