We just left Venice and already miss it! And a big reason for that was Leone’s place. If you are unsure where to book in Venice and this option is available... TRUST ME... book this now before it gets taken. My girlfriend and I (24 and 30) spent 4 nights here and it was exactly as described, and even better in my opinion. The location was the best part. The Rialto/San Marco Square was way too crowded and touristy, and the San Polo area was wayyyy better. Super authentic Venice (canals, tight winding walkways, small authentic cafes) and QUIET! The view from the balcony is wonderful, with a calm canal right below you. Real Italians live all around you, you can hear some of them from your balcony listening to Italian gameshows and arguing with their spouses LOL. But quietly :) the inside was great! The bed seemed a little firm at first but it’s surprisingly comfortable. Leone was the best host, quick to respond and always close by! Go to his recommendation for dinner: the guy who runs it is hilarious and get the squid ink pasta, sounds strange but amazing, even from a picky eater like me :)
