My girlfriend and I stayed at Casa Sofia for 3 nights. Paolo was an excellent host - he gave easy to follow directions to his place, met us and gave us a great introduction to the city. The apartment itself was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It is also in a brilliant location, near to bars, restaurants, public transport and easily walkable to all of Venice's main sights. A final note - despite being on a lively street, the apartment is absolutely silent at night which meant we had a great night's sleep each night - light sleepers need not worry here! Grazie Paolo, we'll be back!
