Barbara’s place was great - right in the middle of all the action! If you have a lot of luggage, I would recommend taking a private boat taxi and getting dropped off right in front. Stefano and one other gentleman (can’t remember his name at the moment) met us and they were awesome! Super friendly and helped us navigate the streets of Venice with our bags. Something else to note is the apartment is on the third floor, so there are quite a lot of stairs. It didn’t bother us but it might be difficult for some travelers. Would definitely stay here again!
