Great Place! We booked this quickly and were happy it exceeded expectations! Paolo's sister, Barbara met us at the train station. She was wonderful and spoke excellent English (for these dumb Americans) which was very helpful. She arranged a taxi that took us to our doorstep. The property is only a few minutes ride from the train station but the taxi was great with our luggage. There is a flight of steps up to the actual flat but it wasn't hard at all, just be aware if you have several or very large suitcases. The best part of the apartment is the corner view of 2 canals. We sat in the low chairs in the corner bedroom and watched the boats & gondolas for hours. We were literal steps from a corner market, restaurants, and a gondola stand. Barbara gave us many suggestions for eating and even some info about glass furnaces to see on our day trip to Murano. My suggestions for that are Gino Mazzuccato & Artistica Schiavon (FYI). The APT is very modern and had everything we needed.
