Paolo was a great host, he met us on the street and showed us to the apartment. He was very accomodating; we arrived early and he let us keep our bags at the apartment while we spent the day exploring Venice. The Cannaregio area is really nice, close to the station and some nice streets with great bars and restaurants which feel authentically Venetian. Paolo gave us a booklet of his own tips and recommendations which was a brilliant resource and made our trip so much more special. I would highly recommend visiting the restaurants he suggests. Some of the best food I've ever had. The apartment itself is clean, with plenty of light and anything you would need for a self catered stay (i think anyway - we didn't actually cook anything because there are so many good restaurants!).

Anyway cheers Paolo! - we had a lovely time.
