A couple and two friends celebrated Carnivale in style in this beautiful apartment and it couldn't have been more perfect. Everything that others have said is true, the apartment is clean, cosy and incredibly spacious (more so than the pictures show) with a beautiful outlook onto a quiet canal that leads to the Grande Canal a few minutes walk away. We were perfectly placed to walk or take a boat into St Marks Square for the celebrations or to wander the back streets for beauty and quiet. Paolo was the perfect host too, he met us at the airport and took us for a walk around the neighbourhood to find restaurants and the supermarket. He also left us with prosecco to celebrate our friend's birthday which was the same day as his. I have visited Venice many times and stayed in hotels from basic to 5 star but this is by far the nicest place I have stayed on the island, we will definitely be back. Thank you Paolo for making my first carnivale the most magical experience for all of us! x
