Our stay in Paolo's gorgeous apartment was wonderful. Finding the location was very easy, exactly as Paolo's directions described. He welcomed us and provided very useful information on the best sights / places to visit and how to get around Venice during our short stay. The apartment itself was perfectly situated being close to the grand canal, and central to accessing the sights, eateries, shopping and transport hubs. Even though we were on a busy thoroughfare, it was quiet for sleeping. The apartment was spacious and beautifully appointed, and easily accommodated the 3 of us (3 separate sleeping arrangements). If you want to experience the best of Venice - this is a great place to stay.
