We met Sebastiano's brother Filippo who met us near the apartment. Filippo was a lovely guy and enthusiastically helped us with our luggage up the several flights of stairs to the apartment and explained everything to us. He gave us some great restaurant and other recommendations. The apartment itself is a great 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with a fantastic view of the canal below. The location is very near San Marco square which is a good spot to be. My only complaints would be there was no working lighting in the stairwell and hallways leading up to the apartment. We had to use our phones to light it up at night. Also, as previous reviewers have mentioned, the air conditioning is essentially useless. It only covers the main living area - not the bedrooms, and doesn't even sufficiently cool the main living area anyway. All in all though, we had a good stay at this apartment and would recommend.
