We had a great four nights in Paola's place. It is in a lovely quiet part of the city to come "home" to, a welcome retreat from the crowds. It is on a corner of the intersection of two canals and provided great views and a little slice of Venetian life. Paola was a great host. She met us at our water bus from the airport and showed us to the apartment. She made sure we knew where to find things in the town and recommended some restaurants in the area. We were missing a couple of small kitchen items (dish towels and pot holders) and she reacted promptly to drop them off for us. We would recommend this spot for anyone who values peace and quiet after the noisy crowds of the day.
