This was our first airbnb stay, and Paolo and his apartment were an excellent intro experience. Paolo was always responsive to questions and ensured everything went smoothly from start to finish. From meeting us at the water bus stop, to walking us around his lovely neighborhood to recommending restaurants. He even walked us into a local favorite to ensure we got seated since we did not have a reservation. Paolo's place was wonderfully central to all attractions but far enough away from the tourist crowd to make you feel like you were part of the local scene. Walk out your front door and you're right on one of the beautiful canals! The apartment was beautifully appointed, very clean, and generously stocked with snacks and breakfast items. We highly recommend Paolo's place for your stay in Venezia. Grazie mille, Paolo!
