Paolo's place is located in a quiet street in the district of Dorsoduro, very close to restaurants, shops, grocery stores, cafes, and some major sightseeing places such as Accademia, Ca' Rezzonico Palazzo, Peggy Guggenheim Museum, etc. It's about a 15-minute walk to St. Mark's Square, the train station, Rialto Bridge, and so on. Paolo is a real sweetheart - answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly, explained how to get to his place from the train station, met us at the vaporetto stop, showed us around the neighborhood, and took us to the apartment. Which is a little gem on a very quiet street where the only noise you will hear is the seagulls. The place is decorated very stylishly, has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and a big BIG comfortable bed. Paolo checked on us to make sure we were doing well, and provided very much appreciated recommendations about the neighborhood and the city. We had a fantastic time, and when we go back to Venice, we'll definitely stay at Paolo's again.
