Paolo is the perfect host. He made us feel very welcome, took time to walk us around the neighbourhood, providing suggestions for restaurants and how to get around the city. The apartment is located in a great neighbourhood, away from the crowded tourist areas around San Marco. The vaporetto stop is very close and the railway station and Piazzale Roma are within easy walking distance. There is a supermarket and bakery close by, as well as good neighbourhood restaurants. The apartment is impeccable, beautifully decorated and quiet. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to my friends. A perfect start to our vacation in Italy.
