I chose Luca’s place on Airbnb because it seemed affordable, straightforward and most importantly, it looked like a good place to meet people and get good recommendations about the area. I was not disappointed! I found all of that, but Luca also invited me out for drinks when his friend stopped by, and they introduced me to spritz and prosecco. It was because of them that I bumped into another local who would end up being my Venice walking tour guide! And it was through my tour guide (Francesco) that I discovered great, cheap places to grab food and drink in Venice and where to avoid tourist traps. And that tour is how I met four other fellow travelers with whom I spent the rest of my evening exploring Venice after the tour ended. To put it simply, if you are looking for a comfortable bed and shower, a quiet town on the coast, super easy access to Venice, and a good launching point for your adventures, this is the Airbnb for you. Thanks again, Luca!
