Thanks Barbara, we had a perfect stay in Venice. Barbara picked us up at the Piazzale Roma and guided us to her wonderful apartment. From the apartment you can walk in 5-10 minutes to the Academia-Bridge and it takes 10-15 minutes to the Rialto-Bridge. Because the university is just a few meters away there were lots of student in the quarter and you have lot of pubs nearby. In the apartment is everything you need. In my opinion it couldn't be better.
