Leone met us promptly at the Vaporetto station/dock and walked us directly to the apartment. Pics don't do it justice. It was immaculate and came with a full complement of cooking supplies. It's a 10 minute (maybe) walk to the Rialto Market (get there early!) so this was wonderful to have. He gave us great food and cicchetti recommendations with a map and really made us feel welcome. We loved the place. It had plenty of hot water and the views were excellent - nothing like a terrace overlooking a private canal. Apartment location is perfect, too - just far enough away from the throngs of people to feel like you are in a quiet part of Venice but not too far that seeing the major sites is a slog. I'd say: 10 min to Rialto Market/Rialto Bridge, 15 min to the Square, 8 min to I Frari, 20 min to Guggenheim (or thereabouts). Great little wine store 200m away sells wine in plastic bottles right from the barrel for ~2.5Euro. You really can't go wrong here, my only concern is that its popularity will make it that much harder to book in the future!
