It has been our first visit to Venice and it has been nothing less than incredible. We were at the heart of it all, with every famous site being less than a 10minute walk. We were settled in immediately with our host Leone, being so warm and thoughtful- he made us feel like we were in our own little retreat. The 'pearl' as Leone calls it, is a rare pearl, and just as it is described is tastefully furnished with everything you may need during your stay. Surrounded by restaurants and gelateries (and with recommendations from Leone and trip advisor) we were filled to our hearts content. We were there for four nights and did everything we wanted to with no hassle at all. Even catching a gondola was easy (no queues- because you can get it from one of the squares near the apartment) Already thinking about our next visit back!!
