Paolo’s place is in an excellent location as I hopped off a plane at Marco Polo airport, which is the closest to Venice, and took the one way trip on the Aliliguna water bus that obviously takes you to the city by water and is an excellent way to approach Venice-best by water, orange line literally right to the door of Paolo’s place for 15 Euro. It is 20 minutes walk to the Doge’s Palace and St. Marks’s, near many good restaurants and Paolo gave me some great tips as I had the Spaghetti and Clams at Due Colonne and it was fantastic. It is a seven minute walk to The train station which I hopped a train to Verona on my exit from Venice, and a short walk to many restaurants and live music at many of them right on the canal in front of Paolo’s place.
Paolo is also a great person to talk with and we had a very lengthy and warm conversation on my arrival.
The one small inconvenience was the toilet as it is very difficult to find a comfortable way of sitting on it.
I highly recommend these accommodations.
