Paola is lovely and kindly met me at rialto bridge where the ferry from the airport took me. It's a rambling busy walk through a labyrinth of cobbled streets and she pointed out lots of local places and gave me landmarks to find my way home by. The apartment is tiny but safe and warm and perfect for one person. Great location and everything is in walking distance which is pretty much how Venice is. Recommend to solo travellers who like to unwind in peace
