Paola's is a wonderful host and her place was absolutely perfect. I *highly* recommend staying here. It's close enough to the busy parts of Venice to see all the major sights, but far enough away to get a true feel for Venetian life and a peaceful nights rest. It's situated right on a canal (quite a beautiful one too), and there's some really great local restaurants right at your doorstep. Paola actually came to meet us at the water taxi station nearby to ensure that we arrived stress free...amazing! Thank you for a very memorable trip, Paola!!
