My husband and I stayed at Paolo's place while in Venice for meetings and some sightseeing. It was great value for the price and well within our budget.
The flat was a perfect location in Cannaregio, and we saved money because we could walk to all the main attractions, train station, and multiple vaporetto (water taxi) stops from his place. It was within 15mins walk of the Ferrovia (train station), Piazzale Roma (main hub for cruise ships and vaporetto), as well as Guglie (for the Alilaguna airport shuttle), etc. We found it easy to get around Venice on foot and by vaporetto, and appreciate the high level of communication from Paolo before and during our stay.
The flat was very clean and well appointed, had the washing machine, A/C and heater, and dishwasher etc as advertised, but you would need to bring/buy dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent. There were also maps and restaurant recommendations available. The kitchen was laid out very nicely and is generous by European standards - we appreciated that there was a bottle of prosecco, cold water, tea, and some biscuits thoughtfully laid out. Also Enrico took the time to show us how everything worked, and had suggestions when we asked. The kitchen was also easy to use, and the bathroom was great (bring your own shampoo, conditioner etc).
My only minor grumble is that having an extra set of bath towels would have been nice, and a guest umbrella would also have been a nice touch as Venice can be drizzly.
Again this place is great - it's SUPER central to everything and easily walkable to attractions and to vaporetto stops. The neighborhood is definitely residential so you get a feel for Venetian life, and we liked being away from the tourist hordes.
