Paolo and his sister Federica and brother in law Alberto were wonderful, helpful hosts. We would never have found the apartment or been able to lug our luggage over the bridges without Federica and Alberto's help. The apartment was situated in a great spot and was spotless. I dont know what kind of mattresses they use on the beds but we had the best sleep we've had in a month of travelling! Thank you for helping to make our stay in Venice so memorable!
