Paolo is a excellent host (5/5 starts). He was very attentive prior to our arrival and providing directions to meet at the Ca'Rezzonico vaporeto station which is very close to the apartment. Once we arrived to the station, he showed us around the neighborhood of dorsoduro which is a lovely place, much less busy than St. Marks square which is only 10 minutes walking. Paolo literally spent a good 1 hour+ showing us around, introducing us to the local shop owners, giving us restaurant and shop recommendations, and talking about Venizian history. We greatly appreciate the time Paolo took to answer all of our questions and for giving us the tour. The apartment itself was wonderful, clean and quiet. Thank you very much Paolo for receiving us in your neighborhood and giving us a locals experience of Venice! My wife and I cannot wait to return to Venice and we will definitely be staying with Paolo again.
