We checked in the day of the big storm that caused a very high tide. Nikos was very responsive when we were unable to get to the apartment by our agreed upon time. The hotel where you pickup the keys was not that easy to find with his instructions, but the fact that it was dark and we were wading through almost waist deep water did not help. The canal outside the apartment is a nice touch, and it is fun to watch the gondolas go by and navigate the tight turn. The location was great.
