Awesome, warm, friendly home on the ground floor of a small building tucked away by the Rio di San Polo. (For some reason, I didn't realize it was on the ground floor, which made opening the shutters to find the canal right there even more exciting.) On weekend evenings, a couple kids would hang out in the campiello outside the apartment, nothing rowdy, but otherwise it was quiet, just the canal noises. Large rooms with plenty of space to spread out. It really did feel like Aunt Paoletta's home and was relaxing to come home to, away from the crowds in the more touristy areas. Hope to stay here again on our next trip to Venice.
