This place was incredible, we felt like it was home away from home. Paolo is a really nice host, he made us feel so welcomed. The apartment is exactly as the photos and note the 4 flights of stairs. Its proximity to all the tourist attractions, especially the public gondola ride across the river to the market made our Venice trip an absolute dream. Location is super close to the ferry stop so we didn't have to drag out suitcases up and down stairs in Venice. Overall, we would highly recommend Paolo's place!
