Our stay at Paolo's flat was wonderful! He very kindly met us at the train station and walked us to the flat, pointing out a cafe and restaurant he liked nearby. The flat was described accurately, it was clean and comfortable (the air conditioning was crucial in July). It's a wonderful location, very central. Our first night there he took us out on his boat and gave us the best tour of Venice! I highly recommend it, it was a highlight of our trip. Our communication was easy and always prompt. This is a great place to stay while in Venice!
