Barnaba’s place is in a great area for water taxis access and restaurants/bars. It’s tucked off enough to not be on the tourists’ path but cozy and convenient. You’ll have to star the location as another spot (I believe it was Rialto Dream) in google maps because we realized the street doesn’t quite show up and it is a bit of a maze navigating in Venice. Other than the hiccup of the address not being correct for us to check in easily, the home itself is nice and clean. Barnaba is an attentive host and made sure we had an understanding of nearby restaurants and supermarkets.
The only issues were that the bathroom shower is quite small, so if you are over 6 ft tall, it may be a bit if a squeeze getting clean. My husband is 6’2-6’3, 235lbs and had quite the experience trying to fit and bend inside lol! Also, hot water didn’t last very long so if you needed to shower, you had to turn the water off to wash up or you could end up with cold water to rinse off in after 5-10 minutes of the water running. This may be a Venice issue but we still managed and enjoyed the home either way. I’d certainly recommend it for a couple or 1 person to enjoy and experience Venice authentically. Thanks Barnaba!
