We enjoyed our recent stay at Barbara's Dorsoduro apartment. The location is perfect. Far away enough from the tourist crowds but close enough to walk to. Local bars and restaurants were excellent and we spent a lot of time enjoying the view and people watching on the Fondamenta della Zattere a few mins walk away.
The steps up to the apartment are very steep and would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
The info pack from Barbara was great and we used several of her recommendations during our trip.
Only criticism I guess is that it's not right to advertise the garden as private as you're sharing it with the other two apartments in the building, I had assumed it was for our use only by the wording of the ad. Also our check in lady didn't speak English which is of course our issue, not hers but as the listing had specified the host spoke English as well as Italiano there were several questions we had that were left unanswered due to communication struggles.
