Paolo's apartment is great, it's on the canal so you can get a water taxi to drop you off at the front door. It has a spacious living room and a small garden where you can relax and have drinks. Paolo was an excellent host, he provided recommendations, directed our water taxi driver to the apartment and showed us the way to the local square where there is a supermarket and restaurants. He was available on WhatsApp throughout our trip for questions and he organised an hour water taxi tour around Venice for us
