Paolo's home was exactly what we were looking for in Venice...maybe even better than hoped for or expected. A beautiful balcony view of one of Venice's canals, and a lovely home in a private setting. We walked (a lot) in Venice and after a long day it was wonderful to have a place, larger than a hotel room to stretch out and relax. We traveled with our college age daughter and the apartment was perfect. We did the "typical" American tour of Italy (Rome, Venice, Florence) and these accommodations in Venice were by far our favorite!
