A great location away from the madding crowds from which to experience Venice. We walked everywhere and were very happy to return to Barbara's apartment for rests during the day. The apartment itself was very warm and homely, great books on the shelves, comfortable beds, great reading chair by the window - just a lovely familiar place to stay. Natasha, Barbara's host in situ, was charming and very available and helpful - there to greet us and to send us off at the end of our stay. Would thoroughly recommend this place
