This is overall an authentic experience. As long as you read her instructions and reviews, you know what to expect! You are in a great location close to the train station and all the major spots are within reasonable walking distance. Lucia was kind enough to let us drop our bags off before check in. Rolled luggage is not allowed in the apartment but she provides totes for you to carry whatever you need for the night. And your bags are locked in a storage room which you have the key to. For a one night stay, this was not a problem for us.
Lucia greets you during check in with her famous homemade tiramisu, and the reviews I’ve read were spot on. So light and delicious!
As for the space itself, it’s like you are living in a true Italian home. Lucia is an artist so there are plenty of artwork all over. The bathroom has everything you need, Lucia even provides you with plenty of shampoos and such to choose from. The bathroom may not have a lot of light in it, but Lucia has additional lamps inside. Lucia also provides you with plenty of options for breakfast!
What makes this a five star review for me is how above and beyond Lucia goes for her guests. She is quick to answer any questions you may have. Though there is a language barrier, a translator comes in handy. Lucia was sweet enough to walk us around the neighborhood with dinner recommendations for good seafood which we really enjoyed! She also walked us to the Ponte Rialto and was kind enough to take pictures! She had wonderful recommendations to go to a terrace near the Rialto for an even better view, unfortunately you have to book your time slot in advance so we were not able to see it. All in all, I recommend you book this place if you would appreciate an authentic experience with a true local! Grazie Lucia!
