Paolo was great. Met us at the train station, explained the alternatives to get to his apartment and cost. I've heard many b&b hosts try to steer people to the most expensive private "taxi." He's showed us the apartment with all the nice extras and then walked us over to a nearby area with shops and restaurants. He tried to book us into on of the nicest restaurants in Venice but it was booked. He then recommended an alternative which turned out to be great.

His apartment is located in a great are and very convenient to the local taxi service. It's also easy to walk to the Rialto Bridge if you're adventurous.

We had a great stay and checkout was incredibly easy with no hassles. Only thing to keep in mind is that the apartment is a three bedroom unit with only one bedroom suitable for a couple. Great for a family of four or two couples if one doesn't mind sleeping in separate rooms.
