The apartment was great and Paola was a fantastic host. Our arrival into Venice was delayed and she was completely flexible about check-in ... she even met us at the vaporetto stop, walked us to the apartment, and showed us a few spots to check out along the way. The apartment itself was very nice, clean and accommodating to our needs. The location is great, though I will note the street noise outside can be quite loud at times. I imagine this is the case for a lot of apartments throughout Venice though.
