My wife and I and our two children (10 and 13) had a great stay. Everything was perfect. The apartment was even nicer than the photos. Paolo's sister met my wife and daughter at the train station and brought them to the apartment. She spent about an hour showing them the apartment and the neighborhood. The apartment was incredibly clean and well stocked with essentials, including soap, shampoo, water and even a bottle of Prosecco! The apartment is in a great quiet neighborhood away from the crowds. However, it is an easy walk or vaporetto ride to wherever you want to go. I cannot recommend Paolo's apartment enough. It was absolutely everything we hoped it would be on our family vacation.
