Paola's place was small but cozy. As people have mentioned, this is adequate for solo travelers. However, it's a nice compact apartment with plenty of privacy and a great heating system. Venice can be very confusing to navigate so Paola was gracious enough to pick me up from the station. The address doesn't register on Google maps, but Paola pointed out some stores and landmarks to help me find my way home. I had an issue with hot water and she was able to come assist me right away. Overall Paola is a superb host. Thank you!
