If you could conjure up the ideal 3 day visit to Venice, it would start with our host Paolo's warm and generous greeting at the train station. He not only took the time to meet us but gave us a quick tour of the neighborhood and even presented us with a bottle of prosecco! He is a true Italian gentleman. The flat is everything the online description says it is and much more. The location is ideal - all of the convenience of proximity combined with the quiet of a off-the-beaten path neighborhood. Ideal!!!! Thank you Paolo for making our time in Venice so special.
