We stayed for eight days, and found Paolo's place very comfortable. It was just as pictured: with high ceilings, spacious rooms, lots of windows, and with an especially thoughtfully provisioned kitchen. With so many restaurants around, we didn't do much cooking, but when we needed a utensil or right-sized bowl, it was there! It was also well-located -- within a few minutes from the Ca D'Oro vaporetto stop and the grocery store, and just a bit further takes you easily to the Rialto Bridge or Fondamente Nove. But perhaps best of all, the apartment was not at all anonymous like some airBnBs, but welcoming and charming, much like Paolo himself; the shelves were laden with interesting books and CDs, as well as useful travel guides, and the artwork and decor departed stylishly from the script of gold finishes and satin bedspreads found in the typical Venetian hotel. Paolo lives in the same building, and let us know that he'd be available to us if we had questions or problems, and he always responded quickly and helpfully to our messages, without being at all intrusive. Thanks, Paolo!
