Paolo's rental in Venice was an amazing find! The apartment is bright, open, and had everything we needed. It's a great space, and the private tunnel walkway to the building helped to seclude you from touristy areas (though the area is already slightly removed from the main tourist area--which was a HUGE positive for us). We made it to town in the evening, and Paolo was happy to meet us after our flight/shuttle (and helped us up with our bags). He showed us around the space, had the best welcome packet I've ever received from an Airbnb host ready for us (including maps and notes about Venice and attractions), and also had a chilled bottle of wine waiting in the refrigerator. I'm always looking for where the locals go, and Paolo happily spent extra time sharing his favorite food spots and bars in Venice (we checked out a few!). Paolo was also easy to communicate with, and responded quickly leading up to our arrival. Overall, this was a terrific experience and I'd happily come back to Venice and stay here again!
