Our stay at Paola’s apartment was great! The place was much larger than we expected. It is perfect for families, groups of friends, or a couple like us who wanted a bit more space. It was extremely clean, well-maintained, and beautiful. It also was stocked with some basic necessities and extras that Paola offered us.
The neighbourhood was perfect for us. It is in a quiet part of Venice, but still close enough to the sights (we walked the entire time we were there). There are plenty of nice bars and restaurants by the canal just a 5 min walk away, and a supermarket is right next door. Meanwhile, walking to Piazza San Marco and Rialto Bridge takes about half an hour, which also gave us a great way to immerse ourselves in the city’s small streets.
I would really recommend staying at Paola’s apartment if these sound appealing to you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with her. She is a nice and sweet host. Although she does not speak fluent English, it was enough for us to communicate and things went smoothly. I would definitely be back if I’m ever in Venice again. Ciao, grazie mille!
