We loved our stay at Paola's cute little flat. Paola picked us up from the Vaporetto station, which was very nice of her. The best part was the view from our apartment. The canal is so beautiful! I have been to Venice many times, but the first time overnight, and this neighbourhood is just perfect. It feels so authentic because you won't run into lots of tourists here. Paola gave us her personal recommendations for restaurants, we tried two of them and they were great!
The apartment was nice and cosy, maybe not perfect for the third person that sleeps on the couchbed in the main room because it is not as quiet as the bedroom and doesn't have aircondition, but for two people the apartment is perfect. If I ever stay in Venice again, I would definitely come back here.
Paola even left us snacks and water in the fridge.
On our last day, my friend forgot her bag at the vaporetto station when going to the airport. Paola was so great that she went to the vaporetto station to look for the bag, although she didn't have to. We will never forget that :)

Stay at her apartment and you will have the best experience in Venice!
