This was a great pick for my girlfriend and I. We had never been to Venice before and we found the place's location, scenic overlook out onto the bay within walking distance, quiet residential character, and the easy check in and 10 minute walk Piazza San Marco and the opera halls and churches to be much more than we could have hoped for. Even though we did not see Leonardo given he was out of town when we stayed, he was easy to get in touch with over email and provided check in and out directions for the keys and use of the house. This was an all around great stay.
