This is an excellent place to stay. You buy a boat ticket for travel while you are in Venice. Do not try to use google maps. We printed the directions with photos and went straight to his home. Much easier with rolling suitcases rather than carrying bags. Apartment is upstairs in first floor with a private entrance. Very nice layout. Separate TV room. Bed is very comfortable and air conditioning was nice as it is very hot in September. Big refrigerator and cooking pans. We did see a laundry mat around the corner as we were leaving. Paulo is very organized and had many quick tips and suggestions. Paulo is a great host. Just FYI all shops close around 8:30-9:00 so don’t go out to Morona or Burono in the evening. The boats run 24 hours a day we were told.
