Lucia was a wonderful host! The apartment was so spacious (perfect for our family of 5), beautiful and clean and best of all, had a view of the canal from the bedrooms and outdoor space. The cafe next door serves terrific espresso at a great price, which started our mornings off just perfectly! The location of the apartment was also very convenient- walkable to most of our destinations, but also very close to a vaparetto stop (S.Stae) that made traveling up and down the canals very easy. One thing to take note of, however, are the mosquitos! We stayed in Venice in August and the mosquitos were brutal! We had to sleep with the windows closed at night, which made it hard to cool down, as there is no AC in the apartment. Still, we would absolutely stay here again! (With mosquito repellent next time!)
