Paola's place is perfectly situated, close to everything, but relatively quiet neighborhood. Being on top floor with open windows for the breeze and balcony is a big plus. You feel part of the city. The airline lost our bags on arrival, but Paola helped us until they were delivered. She was great. There are a lot of stairs to climb and vendors get started early on street below, but overall, I highly recommend this place for 2 people visiting Venice.
