The San Barnaba apartment was terrific, very comfortable with well thought-out with everything needed. Lu was prompt and pleasant in our emails and kind enough to meet me at the vaporetto stop to walk me back to the apartment. The apartment is just off a lovely campo with the pretty S. Barnaba church and a few nice cafes, just a few minutes walk from the waterbus/Alilaguna (no bridges/steps!). Lu answered all my questions about the house, and marked several favorite places to eat on a map for me; she was very professional and yet warm. I instantly felt comfortable in the space: it's simple yet very homey. There are excellent restaurants nearby: I had a great meal at La Bitta just a few doors down. I wish I could have stayed longer.
