Luca is amazing! For a small fee he picked us up from the train station, explaining bus schedules, things to do, best restaurants etc. At the apt. he went over bus schedules, maps (even using google earth for association), and everything to know about his place. He patiently answered all if our questions. Very thorough. The apt was spotless and smelled fresh. We felt comfortable and at home immediately, The neighborhood is full of friendly people and has a lovely feel. Venice is a wonderful adventure!
