You will not get a warmer and more informative welcome anywhere. Maria and Iacopo greeted us like old friends as we sat down and got loads of great advice from these true Venetians. The apartment is in a fantastic part of Venice. The area around Campo San Barbara is fantastic - with all the day to bustle and noise of Venice life but without the overwhelming crowds of Sam Marco or Rialto. Having said that the place is so well situated to get to everywhere else. The apartment is very well equipped and is thoughtfully designed. Would definitely re-visit.
