Paola, her sister and her mother met us at the Rialto Mercado Vapporeto stop just as she had coordinated via email. They greeted us warmly and escorted us the very short distance to the apartment.

The charming apartment is just as depicted on Airbnb. It is secure, clean, comfortable, well appointed, and extremely well located. Just steps from Rialto bridge and the Mercado, it is a lively environment during the day, but quiet during the evening. There are many eateries nearby from Grand Canal side fine dining to local tratorias and ristorantes. Paola and her sister provided an overwhelming amount of information that assisted us in experiencing the city in a non tour book manner.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Venice and our stay at Paola's Nest of Love. We would definitely recommend it to our friends.
