It was a pleasure to spend time in Maria's apartment, with windows all round the living area, looking over the canal and the lively Campo San Barnaba. The attention to detail in all the design is very pleasing and makes the compact spaces work perfectly. Nearby Campo Santa Margherita, and even closer San Barnaba are great spots to hang out any time of day, and to pick up groceries and treats. Vaporetto stops on different lines are only a few minutes walk away. Maria is a very warm and welcoming host. The hardest things were to carry luggage up the stairs, and to say goodbye.
