Barbara's apartment was nothing short of spectacular. The air conditioning in each room was fantastic during the evenings when we visited in July and the location was in a great quiet location during the evening which also contributed to very restful evenings to help us recharge for the following day. Each floor having it's own bathroom and sink/fridge area was also very helpful for our large group of 6 as it gave made getting ready in the morning very quick and everyone had access to refreshing cold water and snacks that we brought.
Barbara also provided complementary water and fruits for snacking which were delicious and very fresh! Just fantastic hospitality overall and her host contact Angela was also extremely helpful during the check-in and check-out process. Called us a water taxi in the morning to help my large party get to the parking garage. I also highly recommend the water taxi if you have a party larger than 2 or 3. Dragging your luggage through the narrow streets of Venice in the heat can be pretty rough, as I experienced personally!
