Our stay in the Classic Venetian room at Lucano's was wonderful. He's a very engaging and helpful host, ready to offer great suggestions for visiting Venice and share in conversation over a glass of wine or spritz. The room is lovely, very spacious, and airy. Comfortable bed, strong wifi, nice shared bathroom, and good coffee and yogurt in the morning.

Best of all, it's incredibly easy and quick to get to Venice from this apartment. The bus picks up across the street and drops you at Piazzale Rome in less than fifteen minutes. This is a great option for travelers interesting in spending time in Venice, but not willing to pay crazy high rates to sleep on the island. Because of this apartment's proximity to public transportation, we were able to spend the entire day in Venice, have lunch, wander canals, visit museums, enjoy a late dinner, then return to the apartment around midnight with ease.

The apartment is located near the center of Mestre, which is convenient for transportation to other areas of Italy and beyond. It's a multi-cultural area, which we enjoy, offering a diversity of restaurants and cafes, (halal shops, kebab joints, asian restaurants, etc.) Plus, just a few blocks away is one of the best osterias we have visited in Italy, with great Venetian cuisine plus loads of atmosphere. Ask Lucano for directions there and you won't be disappointed.
