Paola was extremely welcoming and made us very comfortable during our short stay in Venice. The apartment is both stylish and homely and has a good kitchen with everything you need to cook a meal.
Cannaregio is a great area of Venice as it is not as busy and touristy as other areas of the city (which we were thankful for as everywhere else was uncomfortably busy) but had a very authentic and laid back charm. One tip would be to walk to Cannaregio from the station (about 20 mins) as the water bus that we got was 7 euros and was pretty slow.
Would definitley reccommend Paolas place if you are staying in Venice!
