Paolo's place was just as beautiful as the photos. Very spacious, very clean and everything new. Paolo left a book of helpful tips including maps and sightseeing opps. The public transportation is close and easy, 15 mins tops to get to Venice. Few options for food in the neighborhood but the restaurant across the street is fabulous. Family owned, fantastic food and great value. Take the tram to Mestre for more variety if you leave the city in the evening. All in all a perfect place to stay. Oh and an amazing blow dryer. That never happens in Europe!
