We loved our first time in Venice and a big part of it was the apartment. It's walking distance for everything you would want to see in Venice and Paolo was great at giving local tips, from airport transfers to restaurants and bars. The apartment itself was lovely, a lot bigger than we expected, we very comfortably fit 4 people. Paolo made us feel very welcome, there were toiletries provided and even a cheeky bottle of beer and wine left for us in the fridge. One morning we were unable to get the hot water on so I text Paolo, he was at the apartment within 5 minutes to sort for us. Overall i would hugely recommend anyone visiting Venice to stay at Paolo's apartment, he's a great place and Venice is a lovely city.
