We had a lovely time at Paolo's apartment. It's very close to the vaporetto station with frequent boats to all of the necessary stops.
Paolo is lovely and very good to his guests - we arrived in the middle of the night and he stayed up for us to explain all about Venice and the apartment, and even bought a fan for the room the very next morning after I asked if there was one.
The space itself is clean and stylishly done, with everything as described, and although no kitchen there are implements for preparing and eating simple meals.
Thanks a lot Paolo!
