Paola and Riccardo were wonderful hosts and really helpful and made every effort to make sure the apartment was well set up and prepared for our stay. They welcomed us off the water taxi and made sure we got to our apartment safely - even carrying bags for us! The apartment was within easy (and quick) walking distance of all attractions and was the ideal base for a Venice visit but at the same time away from the crowds. Thank you Paolo and Riccardo for a wonderful stay. We highly recommend your apartment to any other traveller. You were fantastic!!
