Cute place but…
Bathrooms smelled like stagnant water. Some black mold near the grout on the main shower and ceiling. That smell continued all 3 days we were there, the biggest drawback. Two college dorm refrigerators one had a small freezer that was frozen shut. It needs to be defrosted, because it’s not usable. Beds were comfortable, bedrooms were nice. Due to the humidity and only a washing machine, it took 36 hours to dry a small load of laundry. The apartment is located across from a wine bar so if you are a light sleeper you won’t get to sleep until after midnight.

Excellent location and accommodations
4 Adults stayed in this apartment in a charming section of Venice. Just steps to the Leonardo Museum and the famous bridge of fists. This is a perfect location to be Immersed in a local neighborhood. We felt safe always. We walked the narrow walkways late into the night and before the sun came up. We all missed being in Venice when it came out time to leave. Hoping we can come back and stay in this wonderful apartment again one day.

We had stayed in this apartment in 2018. It remains a excellent location, easy access to water bus, grocery store , restraunts & shops . The atmosphere felt more Venetian than touristy . We had a free issues with plumbing, but the owner was prompt to have it assessed . Do read the apartment manual, it’s helpful if issues that may arise. We hope this apartment will be available again on our next trip.

The BEST location!
Property was perfect for 2 couples or a family. 2 full bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living room. It has an unusual setup as you go in the front door and up a narrow flight of stairs. When you go into the apartment there is an entry and All other rooms are off that. So there is a door to the kitchen and one to the living room, as well as each nedroom. It worked well for us as we could get up early and go into another room and close the door so it was quiet for those still sleepingAll overlooking a fairly quiet yet lovely canal and close to nice little squares with grocery, restaurants, and gelato! It is in an historic old building. Ireneet is at the Vaporetto stop and assisted us with our luggage to the apartment. The water taxi was unable to take is to the apartment because of high water level so had to drop is at the stop. Check in was smooth and checkout simple too.

Charming and Cozy
We were a group of 4 adults. This was my 3rd time in Venice and love to stay in this quiet area away from the busyness of the tourist district. Close to great bakeries and restaurants .Unfortunately this trip we had 2 days of rain so the apartment was very warm and cozy at the end of a dreary day. The 2 bathrooms were very helpful with 4 adults . The unit is very spacious compared to there we have stayed previously . I would definitely recommend!

Location lie great But…..
Our check in process was seamless even though we arrived late evening. The location of the apartment is great for access to St Mark”s Square, restaurants and cafes. We immediately noticed that two of our beds had a stain on the blanket. The bathroom that connected to the bedroom also had a pungent smell. The main issue is that a dryer is listed on the property amenities and I assumed it was an all in one. Unfortunately I was left with a load of wet laundry and an early morning train ride. After communicating with the owner and my contact I was told there is only a drying rack. Also, it would be nice to have shower gel, paper towels, hand towels, coffee filters and a Brita filter pitcher. We literally had liquid soap, bath towels and toilet paper!

Good for Venice
This property is fine for Venice, as finding an apartment in the Dorsoduro area is not easy. However, be careful about pickpockets, as my laptop was stolen right under me. Also, avoid during peak tourist times, as they also bring bad elements. AC was one of the weaker aspects of this stay, so if you are coming during the peak summertime with temperatures in the 28-34C range, avoid this apartment. It took a whole day to cool down enough for us to even stay indoors. The location is great as St. Marks Square is only a 20-minute walk.

Beautiful apartment in beautiful location!
Beautiful apartment in a great location on a picturesque and quiet canal. We were met at the apartment upon arrival and given the keys with a quick tour of the apartment. The apartment is nicely furnished, very clean and the kitchen is well-stocked. The washing machine was greatly appreciated but there is no electric dryer although a drying rack is provided to air dry your clothes. We definitely enjoyed our stay at the apartment and had the added bonus of being in Venice at graduation time for the nearby university. We got to see and witness some of the traditions of Venetian graduates...floral tiaras and chants of "dottore" shouted in huddles around the graduates. It was a very memorable and fun stay in Venice!

Perfect Spot in Venice
A home away from home. We were greeted directly off of the Vaporetto, which was amazing. Upon our greeting, we were taken to the home, shown around – no rush or fuss, and our encounter was pleasant. Ca’ Leonessa provides all of the amenities necessary for an extended or short family stay in Venice. Spaces throughout the home are open, inviting, and comfortable after a day of exploring and adventuring. The décor is natural, neutral, and comforting, and the home is centrally located. There is a small market approximately a block and a half away, which provides a generous selection of produce, meat, pasta, dairy, et cetera. Piazza San Marco is a 15-to-20-minute walk, alternately the Vaporetto, is approximately two blocks away – a super easy short walk. Murano is a quick trip away as well, and well worth the visit. We highly recommend a private tour, of Wave Murano Glass, if able. A very comfortable, well-equipped home for traveling families and the personal greeting was very appreciated.

Great location!
We loved the location of the aparment, close to the vaporetto stop and very close to restaurants and grocery store, with a lively bar across the street. Also loved the Sonos speaker system, it sounded great and let us play music throughout the apartment. Not a very touristy location which was great. Close to two piazzas, perfect for a stroll and hanging out. However, this was the only place we stayed at that didn't have a corkscrew to open our wine bottles. This wasn't rectified during our stay. Communication could be more responsive. Here a few more items that could be improved. There were no hand towels in the kitchen. And the bathrooms don't have locks. One of the bedrooms had two lamps but the plugs didn't fit the wall so could not be used, which made the bedroom dim.

Only problem was finding the place but thats due to the city layout. Had a little problem connecting with the site agent but that was mostly my fault
