We were welcomed to Leonardo's apartment with a bottle of red wine. It was great! We found the neighborhood easy and safe for walking, and not real crowded. The boat "bus" dock was very convenient to the apartment. The COOP grocery is 5 minutes away. The kitchen is easy to use. Even with another couple staying in the other bedroom the rooms are far enough from each other where neither party is disturbed. The directions to the apartment and how to get into the apartment were very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Venice. Leonardo's apartment was a great place to come back to and recover from a day of sight seeing! Nancy and Robert
