Stop!! Do not pass go and do not collect $200 (monopoly reference). If you are staying in Venice then you need not look further. Dont question a thing... this home was by far our favourite and best Airbnb experiance/ home we have stayed in. Location was the best!! A 1 minute walk to the main canal and maybe 6 minute walk to the bell tower. The apartment was spacious and had everything you could possibly need with great local tips and recomendations from Paolo himself. Below the apartment was a cute and scrumptious cafe which we got at a discount price just because we stayed in Paolos apartment. Do yourself a favour and have a hot chocolate there... omg!!
Overal, the apartment was in close proximity to everything, the home was comfy and spacious and Paolo himself was prompt, warm and welcoming. He even went above and beyond by holding the dates for us (peak season dates) whilst there was a little slip up with Airbnb accidently canceling my booking. We are forever greatful for his help and our stay and will without a doubt return to Paolos apartment if we are lucky enough to return.
PS. dont be silly and keep searching.. take my advice and book this one!!!
