I knew that we were going to love this apartment when I first read the description and saw the beautiful photos. I became even more confident that we would enjoy our stay after having a pleasant conversation with Mirella via email. We arranged for Mirella's husband, Maurizio, to meet us at Campo San Leonardo, and he was there precisely at the prearranged time. Maurizio proved to be as genial as Mirella.

The apartment is only a short walk from Piazzale Roma (near the train station), and is a very good location in general for seeing Venice (both tourist and non-tourist areas) and for visiting some of the nearby islands such as Murano and Burano.

The apartment itself is spacious, comfortable and very well appointed. There are also a number of interesting art books to peruse. We found it to be a very restful place to return to after spending many hours walking about Venice.
