My daughter and I felt very much 'at home' in Paola's apartment. As a host, she is most welcoming and friendly. The apartment is as described, with the bonus being the canal views from our windows, where we enjoyed the sunrise and sunsets. The location is what we required, away from the main tourist areas, with our neighbourhood of shops, dining, the sea. When we wanted busier times, it's not far to walk to Rialto, or ride via the vaporetto to other parts of Venice. A most enjoyable stay, thank you Paolo.
