Hands down the best host we have ever had! Barbara was so accommodating from the get go. She gave impeccable directions (with pricing) on how to get to the Airbnb, but met up with us before we got there to point out directions and recommendations of places close by. The location was perfect because you are close to the train and buses, so you can drop off your bags and start exploring! Barbara allowed us to drop our bags early while the apartment was being cleaned which made such a difference since we had heavy backpacks that would not have been fun to carry around. The apartment itself was beautiful and quiet, but easy to walk to everything! We loved her restaurant recommendations, and can't wait to come back to Venice and stay again. Thank you, thank you for making our first trip to Venice so wonderful!
