We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and stay at Paulo’s home. He left us a packet of tips and suggestions including places to eat that are not tourist traps. We ate at several of the recommended restaurants and enjoyed all of them. Susana was amazing as well and super sweet and helpful! The space was clean and comfortable and easy access to the vaporetto stop. We were there during all the Carnavale action too but secluded enough away from the noise and crowds. Thank you Paulo!
