Our two night stay in Venice was made even more memorable by Leonardo's apartment. The room is huge and spacious, with comfortable closets and a large desk that served well to pl.n strolls through Venice's streets and canals. Though we didn't get a chance to meet him, he gave us very detailed information that made it very easy to check in and move around Venice upon our arrival. The vaporetto station of Fondamenta Nove is very close, which made moving around Venice and the nearby islands very easy. There were cute and very delicious restaurants nearby, and Leonardo's guides of the city (in Italian) led us on a couple of walking journeys through the Cannareggio neighborhood and to some wonderful culinary adventures nearby.

We didn't use it much, but the very nice French couple with whom we shared the apartment cooked a couple of dinners in the cute little kitchen, so it obviously comes in handy if that's your preference.

Great place to stay, perfect location to keep the tourist craze at arms length but still within quick reach (as quick as anything on the vaporettos in Venice), and a wonderfully dedicated host. Grazie Leonardo!
