Paolo' place is 5 star accommodation. It's finished to a high standard, exceptionally clean and very comfortably furnished. There was plenty of room for 4 of us and to relax and having 2 bathrooms made all the difference in the mornings. Having been used to hauling luggage up a lot of stairs on our previous stay in Venice it was wonderful to be on the ground floor and nothing beats having breakfast and watching gondolas glide past the window. The neighborhood is very peaceful with some great local restaurants within 5 mins walk. Our favorite was Trattoria Al Ponte Del Maggio. The river bus is a handy 5 min walk in the other direction. Paolo is lovely. He met us at the bus station and bought us to the apartment then took us to the local square where the restaurants and supermarket and is a truly top host. Thanks Paolo
