Barbara is absolutely wonderful! She was extremely easy to communicate with and very friendly. She helped us with suggestions of places to go and welcomed us very warmly into her parents' home. Her parents were also very lovely and really sweet. The place itself was really nice and conveniently located. We had a few issues with the pull out bed but it did not turn out to be too big of an issue. Overall, I would definitely recommend that you stay here if you ever find yourself in Venice.
