We really enjoyed our time in Venice, and Paolo and Riccardo were excellent hosts! They met us at the water taxi station and walked us to the apartment, provided breakfast for the first day, prepared a set of keys for each of us, and had multiple Venice maps and guides for us to use. The apartment was both beautiful and clean. It is located in a more residential (quiet) area, but is only a short walk away from the major sights. There's also a fairly large grocery store within a 5 minute walk. Note that the A/C is only in the entry hall and the apartment can get warm during the day (we were there in mid July); however, fans were provided and my fiancé and I slept quite comfortably with the A/C on and a fan in the room. Overall we would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a pleasant stay in Venice!
