Paolo's place was the perfect spot for our honeymoon stay. The apartment is located away from all the tourist areas and larger hotels which was great. We felt like we were more a part of the local scene and were really able to appreciate the everyday Venetian life. Getting to the apartment was easy as Paolo was great at providing directions to the apartment as well as other attractions. You're only a short brisk walk away from the Grand Canal and several dining spots, shopping stores, and lots of wine bars in between. As for the apartment itself, Paolo keeps is super clean and well accommodated with plenty of towels, blankets, and kitchen necessities in case you want to dine in (we had wine snack dinner one night and his kitchen was perfect for this!). The view of the canal from the bedroom was a huge bonus too! And Paolo was the perfect host. He was very easy to communicate with, easy to arrange plans with, and left plenty of maps, suggestions, points of interests, etc. which helped us out greatly while walking the city. Paolo really is a 5 star host as he was easily available whenever contacted. All in all, Venice is beautiful and staying at Paolo's place is the perfect setting for an Italian getaway. We would definitely stay here again!
