What a wonderful apartment and gracious hosts! We arrived in Venice a bit early and called our hosts to let them know. They were kind enough to let us check in early! Paolo met us at the Giglio Vappretto stop, and in no time (and only one bridge) we were at the apartment. Paolo and Roberta insisted they carry our bags up the narrow staircase to the apartment, which was no easy feat, as there were four of us! The apartment was exactly as listed and very clean. The hosts communicated everything we needed to know very effectively. We were all very impressed with both the apartment and the hosts. They take much pride in their beautiful Venetian apartment, and it shows!
