Leone met us at the San Stae vaporetto stop and walked us to the apartment, helped us with our bags, and full oriented us to the apartment and the neighborhood. The apartment is newly renovated and decorated, spacious and light filled. It is spotlessly clean with thoughtful attention to details. The king-sized bed was wonderfully comfortable with beautiful sheets and the bedroom was fitted out with a large armoire for clothes and bag storage. The bathroom was perfect with brand new crisp white towels. The living room is spacious with a comfortable couch/sofa bed, table and chairs. There is a kitchen along one full wall with new appliances and everything needed for cooking three meals a a day. There is air conditioning and satellite TV with multiple international channels. The WiFi signal is strong and reliable. The apartment is on the third floor and therefore allows for a lovely outside roof top terrace with table, umbrella, and chairs. The views are of red tiled roofs and a minor canal crossed by picturesque stone bridges.
The neighborhood is delightful and quiet but with many amenities within a few minutes walk. There is an active piazza with a grocery store, ATMs, coffee shops, a bakery, and several delightful nearby restaurants recommended by Leone. The Ca' Pesaro museum of contemporary art is also nearby. We would return to Leone's apartment without hesitation and would (and have) recommended it to friends.
