Paola was incredibly helpful and her place was lovely! She sent me transit directions from the airport to her house and pictures to guide me. Whatever you do, don't try to look the address up once it's revealed, GoogleMaps will lie to you and you will get lost. Just listen to Paola. The location was so much better than I anticipated, it's a five minute walk to St Mark's square and about five minutes to the Rialto Bridge. It's close to a grocery store and plenty of shops. The space itself is as advertised- small and meant for one person. The "hallway" space between the external door and room is very narrow, not ideal for lots of luggage or larger humans. It was a squeeze for me with my coat and backpack on. The room itself is a good size, the twin bed is very comfy. The bathroom is nice, but note the shower is a little hard to use, it's not completely pictured here and is a detachable wand that sits about halfway up the wall. It wasn't impossible to get clean but it was a bit of a struggle. However, I was only there for a weekend and it was just a tiny issue, not anything that should prevent you from staying. The kitchen just has a stove top but it's very effective and there are pots and dishes to use. Paola provides directions for how to use the AC/heat, stove top, WIFI, and that you have to turn on the breakers for the fridge and water heater when needed. If WiFi is something that is essential to your vacation, heads up it's not the best of connections but based on the structure of Venice as a city, that's not Paola's fault. Cell service isn't great in between all those buildings so it makes sense that WiFi wouldn't be either. If you're traveling on your own, I highly recommend Paola's place. Again, she was wonderful and helpful whenever I had questions.
Side note: if you're staying here don't book a super early departure flights, the most reliable/cost-effective way to get to the airport is the Alilaguna water taxi and it doesn't start running until like 6am and then is an hour ride. My flight departed at 6:20am and I walked a mile and a half to where the buses were running in order to get to the airport (don't recommend, very confusing, missed my flight). This isn't related to Paola's apartment or hospitality but is important to note.
