Paolo has kindly welcomed us on our arrival and have shown us around his amazing apartment. It is beautiful and right by the canal which was not busy. The apartment was very clean, looked elegant and had all the amenities we needed during our stay. There are nearby good restaurants, cafes and convenience store (COOP) which were very convenient. It is in Santa Croce which was not a very touristy area and ideal for those who prefer some peace and quiet at the end of a day. Thanks Paolo for all the recommendations and we hope to visit again in the near future.
