My husband and I had an exceptional experience staying at Paolo's apartment. The neighborhood was perfect, easy access to Coop grocery store, small shops and canal side cafes. Paolo was an exceptional host and answered all our questions promptly. We LOVED the great view of the Giudecca canal from the dining room window. We had many great moments of entertainment watching the life on the canal. It was easy access to busy central Venice and we loved escaping back to our quiet apartment. I highly recommend this property as a great place to stay. Despite the fact that we never met Paolo in person, he was always available to us by email . We will definitely return and stay here again one day :-)
