Lovely, spacious apartment in a quiet street in Venice close to transport for all directions. We walked everywhere and also within 5 minutes are the Grand Canal vaporetto stop, the train station and the main bus plaza. High ceilings, lots of light, and a fully-equipped kitchen. Pull-out couch for our daughter worked perfectly. Lucia was a gracious host and even met us very late at night to help us into the apartment. She even left us a free bottle of wine for our stay! We loved our visit and definitely want to return. Highly recommended!
Lucia's apartment is in a wonderful location, literally 2 minutes away from Piazzale Roma, so great for the bus in and out from the airports or for catching the water bus to explore Venice and the other islands in the lagoon.
The apartment itself is very tastefully decorated with typical venetian furniture as you can see in the photographs, the building is very quiet and safe, the canal is right by the apartment and you can see the canal from the bedroom window, just by the apartment are several bars/restaurants/pizza places but they don't disturb you in the apartment.
The apartment is in a good location to visit the centre of Venice, St. Marks, etc walking a very nice 25 minute route past academia all along the canals.
There was a chilled bottle of Prosecco waiting in the fridge for free which Lucia's husband produces and a case of six bottles that you can buy for €5 per bottle, if you wish, the Prosecco was very, very, good and if I didn't only have cabin baggage I would have bought the whole case to take home!
Lucia is a lovely person, the apartment is beautiful, the location is great and I would book here again immediately if staying in Venice again.
We loved Lucia and Stefano's apartment. The location was perfect--close to the train and bus stations. Everything was in easy walking distance with an excellent bakery a block a way and the supermarket and boat stops five minutes away. There were a variety of restaurants just steps from the apartment. The views from the windows of the canals were delightful and added to the ambience of the area. The apartment was clean, spacious and well equipped as advertised--having a washing machine was a real plus. Lucia was extremely helpful. She checked to make sure we were settled with no questions. We enjoyed the excellent bottle of wine they left for us as a welcome. We hope to return again to this delightful apartment. Thank you Lucia for making our vacation memorable.

Three minute walk from the bus station or 6 minutes from the Railway station. We were met by the owner at the bus station when we arrived. The apartment had everything we would need for our 5 day stay. Bakery just round the corner, large Co-op supermarket 7 minutes walk.
20 minute walk along the canals to St Mark's Square. Many bars and restaurants were less than 5 minute walk.
We would definitely go there again.
This is a lovely spacious flat, and unusual for European apartments, has lots of natural light.
It also has an excel,ent washer and drying rack for clothes.
I would stay here again and recommend it to friends. The neighbourhood is very pretty and there are pastry and gelato shops and restaurants nearby.
Our four nights here were wonderfully quiet.

Just returned from a short romatic + Getaway break for 2 staying here. the location is fantastic, being met at the coach station and 5 minute walk mean within 30mins we were out and about exploring. Lucia was freindly and informative, told us about the appartment and what was worth attemping on our short 2 day break. the local resturants are perfect for lunch or late night feed if you have been busy all day. we ate at the back of the appartment one night on the canal side (no service charge) and can recomend.the one directly outside is a little pricer due to the service charge but the food was nice and it felt amasing just standing up and walking into the appartment 2 feet away.
We took a river taxi €60 from outside down the grand canal in the eve, much cooler than during the day, expensive but well worth it if for just a few minutes you want to feel like a film star. if you prefer to walk (and we do) the appartment is excellent loaction as being so close to piazza Roma there are always signs to get you back even if you get lost you can pick them up. The free walking tour in rthe morning (cooler) was excellent as we didn't do all the normal tourist spots (we did them ourselves) and alice was informative funny and didn't do the hard sell, i think we tipped €10 at the end. Finally perfect location, clean tidy and local feel appartment, close to the train and bus station ( meaning you don't have to lump your luggage all around venice).

Great apartment in a good location - close to bus station, train station, vaparetto stations & supermarket as well as several well patronised restaurants. The apartment is spacious and beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we required plus a lovely view.
We had good communication with Lucia, who advised us on the best way to reach the accommodation from the airport, plus met us at the bus station to personally escort us to the apartment.
Our only issue was that wifi was not working during our stay, however we were able to access at a nearby restaurant.
A lovely way to spend time in a beautiful city!
