Barbara's apartment was the perfect place to unwind after an exhausting 3 days in Rome prior to arriving in Venice by train. We were met by Barbara's friend Cristiana near Santa Lucia train station then we all walked to the apartment. She gave us suggestions on restaurants, grocery stores within 5 minute walk.
Having the Guglie vaporetto stop right in front was so convenient to explore different areas and to get to the airport. We were also able walk to St. Mark's Square/Rialto Bridge.
We looked forward to going back to the apartment after a day of sightseeing. The area is very lively so we always felt safe.
We would highly recommend Barbara's place.
