Paolo is wonderful host. Quick responses to our airbnb messages, met us by the People Mover station and walked us to his place and provided little bits of information about Venice along the way. The apartment is on the ground level and away from the main tourist through way, yet only a few minutes away from all the shopping and nice restaurant options. Rialto is about 15 mins and St. Marks square is about 20 mins by walk. The apartment was clean and comfortable.
