Such a great place! We only met the brother because the owner was away but he was super nice and helpful, offering to give us local tips if we wanted. The apartment is nice and clean but not too small. The location is the best part. It's only a short walk from the station (you do have to carry any luggage across a few small bridges, just be aware). The area is relatively quite and free of tourists, but close to anything you could possibly need, only a 30 minute walk from San Marco. Definitely recommended!
