We stayed at ca' di paolo at the end of May. The location was perfect and the apartment is exactly as described in the photos. Quaint, basic, and perfect for two people (yet larger and more modern than most hotel rooms in Venice). Unless the shutters are open, the apartment is quite dark (especially when waking up) as it's located on the first floor in between buildings. But we loved the neighborhood, which was a much appreciated break from the tourist crowds in Venice. There's also a market and fruit stand close by where we got breakfast every morning. Giorgio was great at answering any questions we had. Giorgio's greeter also did a great job at showing us around the apartment, answering any questions we had, and recommended two great restaurants in the neighborhood. I'll recommend this apartment to any couple interested in staying in a real neighborhood and out of the touristy areas of Venice.
