We had a wonderful time at Paolo's place in Venice. Great neighborhood (Canareggio) away from tourist crowds, but still easy to walk to everything. Really appreciated the thoughtful touches in the sparkling clean apartment--shower caps, soaps, and a hair dryer in the bathroom, basic seasoning and oils in the kitchen, personalized maps and helpful information to make the most of our trip. Both Paolo and his brother Eugenio (who met us at the apartment) were very accommodating and responsive, and Eugenio was especially generous with local recommendations and info. Would love to stay here again! Highly recommended.
