Paolo was a great host! The wine in the fridge was a nice surprise and we loved his apartment during 3-night stay. We met Paolo on the first day and he gave a wonderful introduction of the place and recommended sights and eateries in Venice. This was on top of the very useful tourist pack which he prepared for us which included things to do, museum info, taxi stops and maps etc. The place was very spacious and clean. It was also equipped with all the neccessities. The location was fantastic - only less than 10mins walk from the train station and very near san marco area. Its away from the touristy area and is quiet at night. But we didn't feel unsafe at all. Paolo was also very considerate to drop by when there was a problem with the wifi. Overall, happy and wonderful experience with Paolo's apartment. Highly recommend to stay here!
