My stay with Luca was at the end of a three week trip through Europe and northern Africa. It was the perfect stay, and I could not have asked for a better host.
Luca was quick to answer any questions that I had about both the accommodations and Venice. When I arrived in Mestre, he met me at the bus stop (which I took from the train station).
Luca gave me a tour of the place, situated in a lovely garden that is home to many fruit trees. He showed me my room which was clean, nicely decorated and very large! I was pleased to note the complimentary water, travel adapter plug, and beautiful amenities such as a hairdryer and organic shampoos and soaps.
After settling in, Luca presented me with a map and gave me a quick run down of Venice (as it was my first time visiting), instructed me on places of interest and told me how to get there (by bus which is literally steps from the airbnb). He also provided me with rain boots in case the tide in Venice was high!
Lucky for me, Luca was available to later meet me in Venice to give me a local experience of some of his favourite places. This I am extremely grateful for.
I think Luca went above and beyond the expectations of any host and I am very lucky that Luca had time to spare.
You can tell that Luca puts a lot of effort and pride in his airbnb. The place is spotless. The hot shower at the end of the night was perfect, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Originally I had debated on staying in Venice, but I am so glad I had the opportunity to stay at Luca's place. Thank you so much Luca!
