Luciano was a great host. He was very friendly and easy to make arrangements with. During my previous visits I stayed in the core of Venice but this trip I was driving and was looking for somewhere that had a safe place to leave the car (and obviously there are no cars in venice). Luciano's apartment was perfect for my needs. It was even easier than I expected to get to Venice from the apartment. We literally walked for less than a few minutes to the streetcar stop, paid 1.50 Euro each for a ticket and were in Venice in roughly 15 minutes! Luciano also provided us with breakfast in the morning, and the entire floor was very well kept and clean. Our room looked exactly like the photos. There was an ensuite in our room but it only had a shower and a sink. There was no toilet, which was odd, but there were two very spacious bathrooms off the hallway, both of which had nice new showers and a good hairdryer. Our stay was great and we Thank Luciano for welcoming us and sharing a few laughs :)
