Paolo's apartment was lovely, quiet, perfectly located on a canal with gondoliers occasionally floating by the living room window. We are now spoiled for any other venue in Venice. Paolo himself was friendly and helpful. Met us at the nearby train and walked us to the apartment and also walked us to the piazza and the nearby vaporetto stop so we would be oriented to the neighborhood before he left us. A five star experience we hope to repeat in the future. Thank you, Paolo!
