Excellent!! We highly recommend Paolo's apartment. It is like staying in a huge suite at a high end hotel but with character and relaxing access to the charm of Venice. It is a great walk to the sites - we took a different route each day. As you walk back after being at the attractions and shopping, you start to feel the more peaceful part of venice without the crowds which allows you to take in the beauty of the city more. The best part is that the windows have great views and you can have a rest in the apartment without feeling like you are "missing out" on venice. Our teenage girls were so happy to have their own space. The master bedroom is so comfortable and also has canal views. The pictures of the place do not even do it justice and the views and the decor are A+. In addition to being so beautiful, Paolo and his sister Barbara are superb hosts and made everything so easy for us at the last minute. Thank you - I can't wait to return and will be recommending it to any of my friends that go to venice.
