Paolo met us upon arrival, was very friendly and informative about our stay, and communicated well with us in the lead up, the apartment is brilliant, well furnished, modern, clean and literally one minutes walk to the water boat on the grand canal and about 7 minutes from the train station but still in a very quiet little square where barely any noise was heard. some good cheap restaurants around the Cormier and Paolo provides a well written booklet with all the info you'd need to know about Venice. This apartment is truly a stand out, you won't be disappointed and you will have a great hot!
