Leone's place was stunning- the flat was beautiful, with superlative attention to detail; the terrace was amazing, with views in all directions- a great place to spend our mornings and to watch the sunset our final evening. There were several very nice restaurants just around the corners. Even though Rialto Bridge and Piazza San Marco were easy to walk to- we were far enough away to not be crushed by the crowds of tourists frequenting that area. Our neighborhood was quiet and safe. Caution: though it is a short walk to the train- there were multiple bridges and Googlemaps is unreliable in Venice, so its best to take the Vaporetti to S Stae if you have luggage. I will return to Venice and hope to stay here again.
