Unforgettable, Roberta and Paolo were gracious hosts! There apartment was everything you see in the pictures and so much more. Paolo ran to the vaporetto to meet us and then lead us back to flat for our very first steps through the historic city. It was a great experience walking though the narrow passage ways with Paolo leading the way through a Venetian crash course of what's and where's. Paolo then gave us a quick tour of the apartment and left us to gather ourselves as we prepared to take on the tourist mayhem that was awaiting us. Apparently January is the best time to see Venice but I don't think Paolo and Roberta wanted me to tell you that...don't let the mass of tourists scare you away from this destination. It is in my eyes a must see if at least for only one day.
