What can I say? This apartment was the perfect culmination to our tour of Italy. First of all, Luca was very attentive and helpful to my family's needs. The flat is spacious and immaculate. It easily housed my family of five. The balcony looking out onto the canal and the pedestrian traffic below was a favorite place for me and my wife. What Luca's ad does not say is that there is a super market and pizza restaurant right below the apartment that serves great pizza and cocktails. Right across the canal is a cafe that has a few tables available to those of us who like to savor our espresso in the morning rather than standing like the Italians. The flat is located in a neighborhood not far from the train station and filled with residents of Venice. So, it is rather quiet. It is a safe distance away from the tourist areas if you don't seek to be immersed in that type of environment your entire stay in Venice. However, not far the sites once you figure out the labyrinth of walkways criss crossing Venice like a maze. We got lost the first night trying to find our way back to the flat. LOL!

The apartment is roughly a 15 minute walk to Rialto Bridge and a 30 minute walk to San Marco Square and the waterfront. The walk is filled with interesting shops and restaurants along the way. If you wish to stay around the apartment there are many delicious restaurants. A couple if you mention Luca's name they'll take really good care of you.

Without a doubt, this place is a must stay in Venice. Luca is a great guy. I hope our paths cross again in this wonderful journey we call life.
