Paolo's home is WONDERFUL! It was sparkling clean and modern inside. It was a short (3 minutes) walk to the bus/train line into Venice. The parking was inside the gated entrance to the house. And the area was very safe as we walked home from the bus stop one night at 11:30pm with our 4 children. As we saw people lugging their bags over the bridges in Venice, we were so thankful for our safe, comfortable (the beds were GREAT!) and easy stay at Paolo's home. We even did laundry here. I would recommend this rental and would definitely stay here again!
