My fiancee and I have have been using AirBnb to stay in 6 countries around Europe on a 2 month journey and out of the many hosts we have stayed with Mr. Lucano was by far the best host we have ever had.

He happened to be available at the time we arrived in Venice from Austria and he picked us up from the bus station. We stayed with him for 3 days and each day he made a delicious breakfast for us. He lent us a map and a guide book on Venice during our stay for free and helped us plan our journey sightseeing around Venice. Although he has lived in Venice his whole life he spoke English very well. He suggested the best locally owned pizzeria and Venetian food in Venice and made sure that we paid and very reasonable price for the food.

Not to mention the room is magnificent. We felt like we were royalty in the large Venetian bed and modern luxury bathroom. The modern air conditioning in the room was amazing for full nights of wonderful rest. The wifi was very fast and I was actually to quickly upload and release a music album I composed remotely in the US using his internet. The bus station was literally a block away, it's less than 10 minutes to get into the heart of Venice, there was a large EuroSpar grocery store across the street and the location was perfect.

If you are looking for the best place to stay in Venice look no further.
