Barbara's place is a treasure in the heart of Venice. A 5 minute walk to Rialto, 5 minutes to the Acqua Alta bookstore, 10 minutes to San Marco, a grocery store (Coop) less than 50 meters away and plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby. The residence is clean, bright and spacious with lots of room for our family to spread out and be comfortable. The showers were great with plenty of pressure and hot water and the bathrooms were beautifully finished. The highlight, of course, is the view from the kitchen and open deck, which is one of the largest and highest in the area. 360 degree views as far as the eye could see: Marco Polo Airport and the Dolomites to the North and every tower and rooftop in Venice. We took in every sunrise and sunset from the roof in awe of the changing colors and light we were seeing. An amazing stay indeed!
