Paolo has definitely contributed to my three very enjoyable weeks in Venice. His roomy apartment, in a spectacular part of this magical city (5-minute walk to the Market and the Grand Canal, and a few steps more to the Rialto Bridge) has a comfortable bed, a fully equipped kitchen, with as much hot water and heat as I needed in January. There is more than enough space to store your belongings, and nothing is cramped. Close by are many bars, bakeries, Bacari, restaurants , and food shops of all kinds. Paolo was always very prompt in responding to my needs, and despatched one of his respective workers to deal with the issues, including setting up a new television. The first-floor apartment, however, has one possible liability that may affect some people; in order to reach it you must climb steep internal stairs. All in all, for most, and especially younger travellers, Paolo's apartment in San Polo is the place to be.
