I can not rave about Leone's apartment and Venice enough. This was my first time to Venice and it such a beautiful city. Leone's apartment is in a quiet location so you are away from the main tourist traps, but still close enough to walk to/from. We would take the Vapporetto to where we were going and randomly wander back to the apartment. Spending quiet evenings or afternoons on the terrace watching the gondolas go by on what feels like your own private canal was just magical. There are plenty of great restaurants within a minutes walk, plus a small supermarket if you feel like eating in. We didn't feel the need to contact Leone during our stay but we knew he was only a message away, or a knock on a downstairs door.
If I was to find a negative, which is hard to do, the shower space is quite small. So larger people may find it constrictive. But I am seriously nitpicking.
Next time I'm in Venice, Leone's apartment would be my first choice.
Thank you for providing us a home in what is now my favourite city.
