Leonardo greeted and welcomed us at the boat stop as planned and we walked only a short distance to his apartment. His place was beautifully appointed as seen in his photos. The location was ideal, centrally located, quiet and secure. The sun deck was an added bonus. We enjoyed our stay at Leonardo's place and would definitely recommend and return. One small note, we did find the bed was uncomfortably firm for our aged bodies. The rain did not prevent us from enjoying our short time in Venice.
