Like many places in Venice, getting to this apartment wasn't easy the first time going there. But Paolo went the extra mile to help by sending detailed directions along with a map and description of the transportation options available. We met Paolo's agent Titti at the apartment, where she showed us around and gave us the keys, along with a packet of information about Venice including maps of both the city and public transit routes.

The apartment itself was clean and comfortable, though we did find it could get a bit musty if we didn't leave windows open. This led to having to make a decision about whether to live with the mustiness or to let mosquitoes in. We ended up dealing with this just by closing the bedroom door. The location is good, close to Rialto but far enough off the beaten path to be quiet when you're ready to turn in for the night.

A good host and definitely recommended.
