Paolo’s house was wonderful! You are on the first level and my kids got to say Ciao to gondoliers passing by just about every 20 minutes out the bedroom window! It was awesome.
The apartment is VERY quiet.
A/C is in the kitchen but if we left the master bedroom door open we were able to few it come in.
There is a very exciting restaurant and shops street just around the corner but you can’t hear any of that noise from the quiet apartment.
Paolo sent a very helpful map with photos of the narrow Venice streets of how to get from the water bus station to his house. That map was imperative!! We would still be lost today if we hadn’t had that as many streets don’t have the street name posted.
The house was older but very clean and had everything we needed for a 48 hour stay. He also sent us the electronic door code so we were able to get in right away.
Ilaria met us there and gave us SO MUCH helpful info about restaurants, places to take kids and she even helped us figure out how to make water bus connections to get to the airport by 6:30am. She was also available by text on WhatsApp the whole time we were there. She was very fast at responding!
We loved staying at Paolo’s.
