Paolo's canal side apartment was absolutely perfect! My husband and I had the most amazing 5-days stay. Paolo is a very responsive and flexible host. The apartment is right by a besutiful canal in the wonderful Cannaregio neighborhood of Venice which is full of life and restaurants. The apartment is so romantic with its decor and location. Fully equipped bathroom, kitchen and even a lovely little dining room which has the best view to the canal for gondola watching! The Bed is large and very comfortable and there even is a washing machine, which I didn't expect but it came very handy. There is a great grocery store 50 meters away (Spar) for all essentials. There is not one thing this place is missing to have the perfect Venetian experience. I have probably taken about 50 photos, just looking out the window into the canal 🙂 Our friends were staying in a very nice hotel nearby, yet it was "our apartment " where we set down for coffee or a glass of vino after a full day of exploring beutiful Venice, as it's so lovely and close to everything. Hope to be back one day!
