Luca's home in Venice was the perfect accommodation for 4 people traveling to Venice for the first time. The location very near the water taxi stop was so convenient! Although I did not meet Luca personally, he kept great contact with us and his partner Lillian helped check us in. Despite not being able to communicate well in Italian with her, she was so kind and considerate (lots of hand gestures, pictures, pointing, and demonstrations--we got it all covered!)! She was also very helpful in pointing out the more local district we were near, which we frequented for delicious dinners and breakfasts. I personally prefer not being in the hustle and bustle of tourist areas, so the location was perfect, and still within walking distance of St. Mark's Square.

In addition, Luca left a short story about the history of the apartment and the area it is located. This history was one of my favorite parts! How neat to think of the people who lived here hundreds of years ago! Lovely apartment, well equipped and modern. I would absolutely stay here again next time I am in Venice! Thank you for everything Luca, you are a fabulous host!
