Out of all our five airbnbs in Italy we stayed in, Paolo's apartment was the best (and we booked early so only had highly-rated apartments). The apartment was so cozy and charming with great quality furnishing. The kitchen was the most well-stocked. Best of all is the fact that it is right by a canal that are frequented by many gondolas. My most favorite time in Italy was sitting by the window saying Ciao! to passerby boats and even hi-fiving some gondolas riders. The neighborhood is very quiet at night, but very close to some really good restaurants and a supermarket. A nice bakery is also close by for our morning coffee. It was the perfect stay in an unreal destination. We walked to a lot of spots, both tourist and non-tourist and used a lot of the water buses as we were so close to the stop. Thanks again Paolo for such wonderful memories.
