My family and I had a terrific stay at Paolo's beautiful apartment in Venice! Upon arriving at the Rialto vaporetto stop, we received a warm welcome by both Paolo and Riccardo, who walked us to the apartment, only 10 minutes away! This was perfect, since this was our first visit to Venice, and we would have probably otherwise gotten lost amidst the maze-like alleyways and bridges. The location of the apartment could not have been better. It was safe and quiet, a bit away from the main streets that are crowded with tourists during the day. But it was still very close (10 min walking) to the two major tourist spots (San Marco and Rialto), so we did not have to take the (expensive!) vaporetto any more than getting to/from the train station.

I don't think the photos do this apartment nearly enough justice! The apartment itself was extremely spacious, clean, and absolutely gorgeous. The living room is decorated with beautiful paintings and kitchen and bathroom are fully renovated. It also had great WiFi, exceeding all of our expectations. We always looked forward to coming back to relax in the apartment after a tired day of walking in the city.

Communication with Paolo was very easy. He was flexible to accommodate our check-in and check-out times, and even allowed us to store our luggage in the lobby area after the stated check-out time (big plus!). We loved staying at Paolo/Riccardo's apartment, and highly, highly recommend staying here next time. Thanks for a great stay!
