The apartment is really nice! In all honesty, it looked so much better than the photos. It's more spacious than we expected, and it feels so homey, which is nice after a whole day of being out.

It's about a 20 minute walk to St. Mark's (a few stops away if via the waterbus), and it's far from the noisy / touristy area. You'll feel like a local in the area, given the nice and quiet neighborhood. There are some supermarkets and restaurants about 10 minutes away by foot.

Luca is such a great host too. He's easy to talk to and easily reachable by sms / call. He helped us a lot (when we got lost lol) and he also helped us in figuring out the waterbus times since we had an early train on the day of our checkout.

The only thing my boyfriend had a problem with was the bath/shower. He's about 6'6 and he sometimes bumps his head on the boiler. There is no shower curtain and also no place to hold the shower up, so you have to shower with one hand. It's all manageable though.

Overall though, we'd consider staying here again if we ever go back to Venice. Thanks for everything Luca!
