Leonardo was an excellent host! He provided easy to follow directions for taking the boat to meet him at stop nearest to the apartment. He was so friendly and helpful in showing us the neighborhood, places to go (and places to avoid) and just to chat with. The location of the apartment was awesome - very convenient for walking to the major sites in Venice and also to some places off the beaten path that were less crowded and more relaxing to explore. The square where the apartment is located is very quiet and nice. The apartment itself was perfect for us - plenty of space and very user friendly if you enjoy cooking as we do. The outside terrace is so lovely and a great place to relax and have a meal if that's you thing. It was very clean and we had everything we needed and more. I would highly recommend a stay at Leonardo's!
