This home was truly "Paradise on Grand Canal!" The home was impeccable, open, airy, and immaculately clean. From the moment you walk in, you are struck with the fragrance of beautiful fresh bouquets of flowers in every room. The beds were made with the softest of linens and down blankets; the towels in all of the bathrooms were plush and plentiful; the master bathroom was huge, elegantly appointed and not wanting for anything: bathrobes, shampoo, lotion, makeup mirror. This was true of all the bathrooms - truly fine hotel quality! The kitchen was fully equipped: there were bottles of water and Pelligrino in the fridge; a spice cabinet to die for, pots, pans, dishes, wine glasses, plenty of linen napkins - everything you could want has been anticipated in this home. All of the rooms were spacious and light and private, made up with the same luxurious linens as the master bedroom. There was daily maid service by a real professional who clearly took pride in caring for this home. And to top it off, when we arrived, there was champagne waiting on ice! Everything about "Paradise" had the feel of a 5-star resort! As for our host, Charlie, he was perfect: he ALWAYS sent reply emails to my questions within minutes, he texted me driving directions (even calling me to make sure I wasn't lost when it took us a bit longer than it should have to arrive), and gave us the lay of the land in the warmest manner possible. He made us feel welcome and like the home was truly ours for our brief stay. And the neighborhood itself was fantastic! Endless beautiful walks, coffee shops and restaurants just yards away, and a hop, skip and a jump to the beach (with plenty of beach towels for the swimming-inclined.) Still, with lots to do so close by, when we were in the home, it was tranquil and felt like we were away on an island resort. There is not one thing I would change about this home and Charlie as a host. Definitely an "A+" accommodation and vacation experience. Thanks, Charlie, for your warmth and professionalism.
