My brief stay in Venezia with Paola was utterly fabulous, and I have to say, that Paola is the BEST host I've had so far during my trip in Italy. The building, is about 25 minutes boat-ride away from the train station St.Lucia. After I got off from Celestia, it's about a short 5 minutes walk. Paola provided me with detailed and accurate direction! I came in with one pretty heavy luggage, managed to find the place and walk over there shortly. The apartment is on the 2nd floor, it honestly didn't bother me at all. But these are some fierce steps, so keep in mind there those who does not want to run back forth up and down the stairs. Now this apartment is a very Venetian styled place, and the room I got, Paola told me later she was actually born in that room. So filled with history and stories. The room is airy and spacious, bathroom is clean and very well organized. HUGE bed, and fabulous linen!! Best part, is that Paola made me breakfast very single morning. She's very kind, despite our limited communication since my Italian is way worse than terrible, she prepared me hot water with lemon every day, and every night! And she put on music for me during morning breakfast time. And she offered me wine and homemade olive puree during dinner (I had some take outs). It was, I would say the best part of Venezia, that I stay with Paola's BnB. Every site is within walking distance, it's Venice, how far could it be. I strolled around every day, and I had a really good time there!! Grazie Paola, I will definitely come back and stay with you again:) [This would make a prefect BnB for a couple; well singles like me as well.]
