As another reviewer said it before me, if this place is a available for your dates, stop reading and reserve it now. We built our entire vacation around the availability at Barbara’s place and it did not disappoint. Location cannot be beat but what really sets this place apart is that it is a real home. It had more than enough space for our family of four with everything that would have at my own home; toaster, washer, freezer, salad spinner, etc. along with rental luxuries such as fabulous towels and an easy and professional checkin. Another aspect is the rooftop terrace with a 360 degree view of Venice. We spent every evening there and ate every possible meal at the rooftop table. When we return to Venice we will do it at a time when this place is available.
