Paolo’s apartment is the perfect place to stay in Venice. It’s just off the Grand Canal, easily walkable from Piazzale Roma and the station, and feels very private with its own front door in a sweet little ‘campo’ in an un-touristy neighbourhood. The apartment itself is impeccably clean, warm, comfortable and quiet with plenty of space and a well-equipped kitchen area. The little courtyard with table and chairs would be a real bonus in warm weather but we there in winter. We appreciated having basic things like loo paper, washing up liquid, some tea bags etc provided so we didn’t have to go out shopping immediately we arrived, though the Coop supermarket is only a 5 minute walk. We never met Paolo but he was very helpful every time we contacted him. We had a wonderful stay in his apartment.
