Barbara was incredibly nice and greeted us at the door. Her home was lovely, and very close to Piazza San Marco, which made things significantly easier for short-term travelers. The only thing I can say is that if you are a large person, then the shower may be a little cramped for you, but this is expected since it's Venice! Highly recommend this place for people wanting to stay close to the Piazza but aren't willing to pay the extravagant hotel prices.
