Incantevole Venezia

You’ll love Paolo, his sister and the apartment. Found this place through Airbnb. Used the word before today, but really a hidden gem.
It’s located in a quiet area. Both the St. Mark’s Square and Piazzale Roma are on walking distance, about 10 – 15 minutes depending on the crowd. The appartment is located on the grond floor on a quiet canal. You can see the gondola’s floating by from the windows. And the watertaxi can come to the front door.
Inside you’ll find a master bedroom with a double bed, two one person bedrooms with a bed/​sleeping couch and two bathrooms. Both with toilet, bidet and a shower and 3 towel’s a person. There’s a little kitchen with al the things you need and a relatively big patio.
Everything is very, very luxerious and spotless clean. You’ll think you’re in a one of those magazines. Beautiful. And everything you’ll think you can possible need is there. Paolo had a cold bottle of Prosecco in the fridge, there were tea bags and coffee cups, toast, butter and jam and even shampoo (skin friendly) and shower gel. You’ll also find magazines to relax and the tourguides if you forgot one.
Paolo picked us up from the airport (although we had a very late arrivel) and took the time to show us around the apartment and the neighbourhood, pointing out the bakery (open 365 days), the supermarket (normal hours) and a view restaurants. He even took us for a drink and insisted on paying. Tip: La Zucca should be fantastic. Only… you’ll have to make reservations way in advance. Probably before you arrive.
During our stay Paolo was available for tips and making arrangements like reservations. He even send us a sms to remind us to put the garbage out on time. Check-​out was between 09.00 and 10.30 by Paolo’s sister who also cleans the place. Like the late arrival, we had a late flight. And even that was no problem. We had to leave the apartment to give Paolo’s sister a chance to get it ready for the next guests, but we could leave our luggage in the apartment and even use the toilet when we picked it up again.
I think we paid around the € 200 a night during eastern for a place where 4 people can sleep. Great value for money. And note that Paolo speaks excellent English which makes the conversation easy and entertaining.
