Paolo and Ricardo were the perfect hosts. They kept in regular contact, rapidly replied to our questions, and thoughtfully provided us with information to reach our destination without a hitch! We had a lovely friendly welcome when they met us at the water bus stop. Their apartment is beautifully furnished and decorated in typical Venetian style. It is very well equipped, and they provided us with breakfast items for our first morning, which was very thoughtful. We enjoyed exploring this area of Venice, which we hadn't visited on previous trips, and the aparment is only a 10 minute walk from St. Mark's and the Rialto - perfect! We'll definately be recommending this to friends. Thank you Paolo and Ricardo, we had a great trip.
