Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! We felt like visiting our favorite cousin! Paolo picked us up at the airport (!!!) – of course he can´t do this every time ;-) – and we felt like visiting family. Paolo speaks very well English (he does not think so) – so no worries, if you Italian needs a little help. The apartment is as gorgeous as it looks. Sometimes the photos are deceiving but in this apartment this is not the case: It is beautiful and – if possible – even better than its photos. Paolos wife Renata, an interior decorator, has taken care of it and it is spectacular. One large and too smaller bedrooms, two very beautiful bathrooms, a generous living room with a hidden kitchen, all of this right next to a canal, that is not busy. The whole area is not so inundated with tourists but still close enough to get to everything you want to get to plus it has a lovely little garden. I used to live in the US for 16 years and know that most of my fellow Americans prefer Airconditioning. This one is so quiet, that I thought it was not working. The apartment looks and feels like a 5-Star-Hotel. This has been our first experience with airbnb and we couldn´t be happier. Go and stay there. You will love it!
