My husband and I stated at Paolo's for 4 nights and had the best experience. First off, Paolo met us at the ferry stop at midnight after our late flight and still took the time to give us a quick tour of the neighborhood, showing us his favorite restaurants and cafes. The neighborhood, Dorsoduro, is perfect as its close to many of the sights and water buses but also has a very local and non-touristy vibe. We felt like Venetian locals for a few days! The apartment is bigger than we expected and really beautiful and on
a very quiet street so we slept like babies. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend to others!
