Paolo's place is very nice and clean, in a great location. Climbing the stairs with luggage was a bit difficult, but our stay was quiet and comfortable despite being on a busy street. We kept parts of the apartment closed off to maximize air conditioning, the bedroom on the main floor was difficult to cool down. By the second night it was comfortable, but we slept out in the main room the first night as it was cooler. We were there on days of over 95 degree temps in Venice, the whole city was very hot and we did appreciate having air conditioning. Paolo was very helpful, he even helped us organize our early morning departure. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the apartment was very hot when we arrived, air conditioning was not on. It would have been nice for it to be cooled down a bit (maybe air on for an hour or so before our arrival), so that we could cool down after our hot walk and climb up to the third floor. We still enjoyed the apartment and our stay very much. Thank you, Paolo!
