Wow, this is a great apartment with a fantastic host. It has everything a home needs plus local books on Venice which can be read on a wonderful balcony overlooking the canals and rooftops. Check in was very simple, Leone gave us easy directions from the airport and met us at San Stae water taxi stop which is 2mins from the apartment. He met us early and allowed us to store our luggage in his office before check in, he even carried our cases into the apartment so they were there ready for us at check in. The fridge was stocked with water and beer and the bathroom had lots of little soaps/shampoos. The space was very clean, stylish and bigger than we expected. We could not fault this apartment and would highly recommend staying here.
