Paola was a good host, very welcoming and happy to help us. The apartment is in the most beautiful setting and we spent a lot of time gazing out at the canal watching the world go by on water. The neighbourhood is very attractive, some good local restaurants, close to the Ca d'Oro vaporetto stop which takes you everywhere if you don't always walk so we could not have asked for a better location. It was wonderful to look forward to returning in the evening to sit, yet again, looking out of the window.
