Paolo was a great host! provided perfect tips and made travel and check-in very easy. I definitely recommend their place if you travel to venice. Lido is a better island than venice, as I found. My only complaints are that there were many ants on the floor because it was a basement room, and that there wasn't any wifi to use. there is a router and wifi to connect to, but it isn't strong enough to use. So if you are trying to plan your day or connect with other people, you have to find a cafe. Otherwise, they were so helpful and the place was perfect!!!
