If Paola place is available - just stop your search and book it. Stella is an amazing host and her apartment is simply superb. Our family of 7 stayed here comfortably prior to a Mediterranean cruise out of Ravenna. Paola’s communication was excellent leading up to the trip. She booked us a water taxi upon our arrival at the Venice airport. We thoroughly enjoyed the location - 8 minute walk from St. Mark’s square and we were surrounded by charming bars and restaurants. Every morning we cooked our own breakfast in Paola’s nicely appointed kitchen - there was a grocery store just a short walk away. Paola went above and beyond in helping me to locate a watch I accidentlt left behind and had it shipped to the US. This will be our “go to” Airbnb if we’re ever fortunate enough to return to beautiful Venice.
