Paolo's apartment is a nice place in the busy Venice. It has an authentic interior and vibe, is closeby a water bus station and is located at a pretty quiet area.
The apartment is big and has almost everything in it that you need. What you do need to watch out is the state of some furniture, like the chairs and front door. Those aren't in their best state anymore. Also the walls are pretty thin, so you can hear your neighbours pretty clear (which is actually a thing I noticed with all Italian apartments), and the bed is not comfortable enough.
What was really a turn down point for us is that there was only an AC in the dining area/kitchen. So in the hot summer days, the bedroom and living room can be hot and hard to sleep, if you are a person that get hot very easily.
But these things are points that can be fixed, some pretty easy, so this might not be the case anymore during your stay. Let's hope that the bedroom is installed with an AC or fan by that time.
The hosts are just great. Responding very quickly, giving clear guides and tips and very friendly.
Like I said, the apartment is located in a quiet area, and within 3 min walking distance you are already back in the more busy streets. Also within 6 minutes of walking you can find a supermarkets, next to some shops and places to eat. And about 20 minutes walk you can even reach the San Marco area.
