Paolo's home was very clean and comfortable. We were able to cook some nice meals in the kitchen. I liked that this home was slightly away from the "tourist" busy area but very safe. You could walk in minutes to the main attractions of Venice. Some of the better restaurants were in this area we discovered. Paolo was very helpful he helped us with arranging a train ticket for our next trip to Florence and he went above and beyond to help us with any questions we had. We would recommend this place to friends and family.
