Our short stay in Venice was wonderful and we really enjoyed Paolo's apartment. The close proximity to the train station was our priority and it was super easy to find thanks to his directions and map. Cristina was waiting for us at the entrance to the alleyway and explained everything about the apartment to us perfectly. She showed us a little welcome pack that included the rules of the apartment, maps, recommendations and the contract. Paolo really does treat his apartments like a hotel so it was nice to see just how clean and orderly everything was. The kitchen was fantastic to use and to look at (don't forget about the hidden drawer for the forks and spoons! :P). The TV had tons of channels in HD, the bed was pretty good with plenty of options for blankets and pillows and there was a lot of room to move about. The bathroom was great, there's more shelf space than at first glance. The bathtub/shower was a little awkward due to the sloped ceiling but other than that there were no problems whatsoever. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Venice, especially thanks to having a worry-free place to stay.
