We had an amazing time at Paola's apartment in Venice. She was very proactive in communicating regarding check-in and helped coordinate water taxi pick up from the airport. The apartment itself was very clean, high attention to detail and had lots of character (e.g. old building with stone, wood beams and windows overlooking the piazza). We were a family of 5 and had ample space to spread out. The air conditioning worked really well. The apartment was centrally located and close to Piazza San Marco, Rialto bridge but far enough to avoid the tons of tourists. Paola's place was very comfortable and was one of the best places we stayed (we stayed in a few 5 star properties in Italy for context). If we make it back to Venice again, we would definitely stay at Paola's place again.
