Paolo's communication:- excellent. He gave detailed info of how to reach the apartment and greeted us from the window above the front door as soon as we arrived. He is a friendly, helpful host.
Paolo's apartment:- excellent. Roomy, comfortable bed, just about everything you'd need in a home.
Paolo's CD collection:- eclectic. But you won't find One Direction or Bay City Rollers...luckily.
Location & access:- excellent. Right next to busy shopping streets and close to Ponte Rialto. We had no trouble lugging our large (shopping spree filled) suitcases from S. Lucia station onto vaporetto then short walk (on even ground) to Paolo's front door. The stairs up to the apartment were a bit of a work out since its on the fourth level, but that's part of the charm of this great apartment.
We would definitely recommend Paolo's apartment to anyone.
