My husband and I stayed with Paolo in September 2016, regrettably only for one night. The room was even better than the photos; very clean, bright, spacious with a private bath nicer than mine at home. The breakfast area was cheerful and had a wrap around balcony. Breakfast was plentiful and Paolo was very kind in his offering to make as many coffees as we needed. Paolo gave us simple directions to get to Venice by bus then off to the airport the next day. There are many coffee shops and grocery stores in the area and an outdoor market on the day we left. We felt very safe walking at night and the neighbourhood was very quiet, no problem with drifting off to sleep and staying asleep until morning.
Paolo was a very kind and generous host. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for accommodation in Venice, stay off the island and go to Paola and Cincia's place.
