Leone's studio is indeed a pearl. We were welcomed by his friend Gianluca, who guided us swiftly through the maze of little streets to our new home in Venice and helped us getting the suitcases upstairs. The Pearl, while secluded and quiet, is right in the mix of all you want to see and do in Venice. We slept well and even got the laundry done for the next phase of our trip. Thanks, Leone, for providing a wonderful experience for us.
