Luca’s place is a great location for a few days in Venice. Of note, though, is that the bus going back and forth between Mestre and Venice gets extremely crowded, which may be a challenge for some.
Luca is warm, full of advice and recommendations, and typically extremely available for any concerns or questions. We really enjoyed having him as a host.
Unfortunately, we weren’t quite as pleased with the room, which was mainly due to it being extremely warm outside and not having an air conditioner, which was mentioned as being available in the listing. The kitchen is available, which meets very basic needs. The entire apartment was fairly clean, but it was clearly very worn. If we come back again to Venice, we would likely not stay at this apartment of Luca’s, but we would definitely consider one of the others he has because of solely his kindness and help during our trip.
