Paola's appartment is a fantastic place to spend the holidays in Venice. It is literally 3 mins walk (I've actually counted) to Ponte Rialto, and all you need to do is to keep walking following the road signs to get to ALL major sites in venice. (e.g. to Piazza san marco about 15-20 min walk). The apartment definitely is much better than the photos here, and is very clean, and super cozy. Agree the place definitely makes you feel as if you were living like a local,and would STRONGLY RECOMMEND.

Note: Internet connection is not provided (as per description), but there is an internet cafe 2-3 mins walk from the apartment. I didn't mind this, but wouldn't be perfect for those who cannot bear "not staying online". For me, the warm greetings from the 2 ladies and the cozy place had well made up for the slight inconvenience.
