Paolo was a great host. He gave us clear directions for travel by water-bus from the train station to Ca Rezzonico and met us there to take us to the apartment. Paolo provided us with a map and plenty of information about restaurants, markets, etc. He even presented me with a bottle of wine for my birthday during our 7 night stay.
The apartment is in an excellent location - away from the crowded tourist centres but close enough to walk to Rialto, San Marco, etc.
Overall a great experience - great host and comfortable apartment with all facilities.
