Staying at Paolo's made our trip to Venice very special. He met us at the boat, gave us a tour of parts of the neighborhood and welcomed us to his quiet canal. We enjoyed our connection with him immensely and appreciated how he went out of his way to help us have a good time. Although he left us alone when we wanted, he was also available to meet with us and give us detailed answers to all our questions. The apartment was comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed. Paolo stocked it with coffee, teas, cookies and jam. It is in a wonderful quiet neighborhood that is well-located and was fun to explore. Staying at Paolo's was exactly what we most hope for from Airbnb.
