Staying at Luigi's place was one of the highlights of the trip. It's a typical Venetian home, providing a much more "local" feel than a hotel would. The apartment is equipped perfectly, and Luigi was a great host, letting me check-in early and check out late at no extra charge. Just one thing to keep in mind, if you go there in winter: like elsewhere in Italy, the houses are built to cope with heat, not with cold. Even though equipped with central heating, it could barely bring the temperature up to 18 degrees. So take warm clothes with you!
