My wife and I recently spent three nights at Paolo's place in Venice, at the end of a 1.5 week trip through Italy (Rome, Florence, Siena, Bologna and ending in Venice). His place, and Venice, was simply the highlight of our trip!
We had originally tried to stay here in December / January, but had to postpone our trip a few months and were delighted to have the chance to stay here. Paolo was always very informative, responsive, and helpful with any requests we had.
The location is perfect - centrally located, 15 minute walk to St. Mark's Square and basically anything you want to see in the city. The building is from the 1500s yet the apartment is smartly equipped, spacious, and comfortable, with a very nicely updated bathroom, kitchen, and wonderful bed in the master bedroom.
Paolo helped us with information about getting to the airport on our way out on Sunday as well.
P.S. You simply must eat at Osteria da Alberto - recommended by Paolo - easily our best meals in Venice!
