Paolo is a great host. He responds quickly to queries and provides very clear details on how to access the apartment. He also provides many great tips on what to see and do in Venice and also what to watch out for in the way of scams/overcharging. The apartment is conveniently located close to the main Venice train station - a brisk 6 minute walk away.
We were there during the terrible floods on Tuesday, 12 November and while we had issues getting out of the apartment due to the high tide, we were safe and dry in the first floor apartment. Paolo messaged us during the flood to ensure we were safe.
I am happy to recommend Paolo's apartment.
