The apartment was as described and the location was great. Not only was it very close to the train station as advertised, but it was on a bustling (but not too busy) canal facing street so we were only steps away from the daily activity of life in Venice. The neighborhood was a great starting point for us to explore Venice with out getting stuck in the super touristy areas. Paolo didn't met us because of an error I made, but his brother Eugenio did and gave me all the information I needed for the apartment. He also provided some great recommendations for local restaurants and they both provided a wonderful printed guide to help us make the most of our visit.
