We had a wonderful stay in Paola's apartment in Venice. Paola met us at the vaporetto stop and walked us to the apartment. She was very helpful and gave excellent tips and advice. The apartment is very spacious and has a beautiful view of the canal. We enjoyed staying in Cannareggio as there were very few tourists around and we felt as if we got to see a more authentic side of Venice. It was also within walking distance of many of the attractions. We loved Venice and hope to come back again one day.
