Leda is a lovely, lovely lady. I wasn't sure at first because I had thought the house would be more remote with a large garden, but I was surprised to see it's in a residential neighborhood. Close to boat and buses - a short walk around Lido. Lovely Lido. You must visit the beach too. Very lovely home.

The room is very small with a bathroom for private use next door and opposite the kitchen. It was hot and Leda lent me her portable fan, which made all the difference to blocking out noise and cooler. The room does have shutters, like most in continental Europe, so that blocked out light and noise from the building in close proximity behind (seems to have been a loud Australian couple). It's a simple room in a large house. Lovely garden accessed through the kitchen. Secured locked large gates at front of property. She let me use the iron in the attic room upstairs - has a roof terrace, I noted, wonderful. Breakfast was fine, but not really my thing. Hope she didn't mind that I preferred my own coffee - I felt I was being intrusive using the kitchen to get water but she was fine with that, and let me put a couple of things in the fridge.
