My husband and I chose Paolo and Laura's apartment for our stay in Venice in mid June and we couldn't have made a better decision. The apartment was immaculate, the perfect size for two people with a well stocked kitchen and super comfortable bed, a great thing to come back to for siesta after a day of exploring this beautiful city. The location is perfect as it's located on a quiet side canal in a non-touristy neighborhood, yet a short walk to all the big sights. It is dead quiet at night, seriously you could hear a pin drop. Waking up to nearby church bells and songbirds was the perfect start to each day. Paolo was the perfect host, so incredibly nice and accommodating! He met us at the closest vaporetto stop (directions from Tronchetto garage were provided by him, super easy!) and walked us to the apartment, explaining Venice streets and canals along the way. He then spent a good half hour with us going over the apartment features and pointing out good restaurants, markets and sights on a map of Venice he provided for us. The nearby frutta e verdura vendor who sells from his boat was a great find. We can't wait to return to Venice and Paolo's apartment!
