This place is amazing! We were hesitant to book because there were no reviews at the time, but we were reassured after we messaged Paolo and he responded right away. Paolo provided directions to the apartment from the airport before our trip and we had no problems finding the place. Check-in was easy, as Alberto was waiting for us in front of the building when we arrived. The apartment itself is modern yet retains plenty of Venetian charm. The bed was extremely comfortable and the kitchen was very well-equipped. There is a Coop grocery store just a couple minutes away and we cooked homemade meals at night (eating out in Venice can get expensive). We loved the neighborhood-- off the beaten track but only a couple minutes from the Rialto and with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby (we really liked Gelato di Natura). When we had a question about the heating, Alberto was very responsive and even checked up on us later that day and offered to come by the apartment to show us. The wi-fi also worked well. Overall, we were very impressed by the hospitality and all of the nice surprises that I will let you discover for yourselves.
