I can't say enough good things about my stay at Paola's apartment. The location is extremely central and convenient. It is less than 5 minutes from the realto bridge. When we arrived we were greeted by Paola, her sister and mother. They walked us to the apartment and provided us with maps, books and suggestions of places to see and eat. The apartment is huge for Italian standards. It consists of a bedroom with a king size bed, a dining room, and a small kitchen that even has a washer and drier. I was mostly impressed by the cleanliness. I am a clean freak and this apartment was absolutely spotless. If traveling to Venice I would recommend this apartment to anyone.
I was so thankful for the hospitality and welcomeness!
