Our stay with Paolo was fantastic! The apartment was located very central, only a 5 min walk to St. Mark's Square, close to a small supermarket and surrounded by shops and restaurants, you won't find anything better in Venice. The place itself was clean, with a fully equipped kitchen, air-conditioning and everything you need for a few days stay. The bed was way too soft but that is just a personal preference. Check-in was easy and straightforward. We met Paolo's dad in front of the apartment (not as hard to find as some people make it sound) and went through everything briefly. If you are looking for a place to sleep in Venice, this is the place to go!
