Leonardo e Irene's place is spacious and comfortable. Leonardo was out of town for work when we arrived, but he gave detailed instructions via email and was quick to respond with recommendations. The apartment is situated a 20-minute walk away from the main attractions of St. Marks, etc. but this makes a quiet and more authentic neighborhood. However, it is still easy to navigate as it's a block away from the vaporetto and just across the lagoon from Murano. It's a lovely place for the non-touristy visitor to Venice.
