We had a lovely time staying at Paolo's house on Murano. It was perfect for our family of 5. Paolo was kind enough to meet us at vaporetto and walk us to his charming gated house with turtles in the garden. It was very quiet, safe neighborhood where kids rode their bikes freely at night. We took great walks over canals and through glass shops and to and from multiple vaporettos through Venice and Burano. It was a great location to both explore Venice and relax. A local tip - You can buy family pass tickets for The Doge's Palace and other museums right on Murano in the Glass Museum (Museo del Vetro) where there are no lines! Also advice for Venice - buy your parking ticket for the garage online in advance to avoid the line.
