We really enjoyed our time in Venice and found Paolo's apartment to be perfect. It was clean, very comfortable and walking distance to main attractions and shops. The apartment is located in a residential area away from the tourist spots, which was quite at night but still lively during the day. There were also many lovely resturants frequented by the locals rather then tourists near by. We felt like we were Venetians while we were there not tourists and we loved every moment of it.
