Lucia and Ricardo were amazing hosts, and made us feel really welcome. Their apartment is so central (how can you not be central in Venice!) and yet unbelievably quiet. And everything was left for us, both essentials and inessentials (like a bottle of wine!). They made brilliant suggestions as to what we should see, where we could eat, where my wife could get her hair cut, and very generously posted off to us the Kindle we left behind. When - not if - we return to Venice, we would love to stay with them again.
