Barnaba was an extremely great host. He met us at Rialto bridge and walked us to the apartment. It was very nice. There is a downstairs cafe and street noise from all the people, but that did not bother us because it was the sounds of Venice, and people stay up late in Venice. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was immaculate. The only thing I would change is to put a floor light on the two stairs that go up to the bathroom. The tile is black and in the. Middle of the night, you may not see the step. Very minor. We loved it overall and would go back to that apartment in a split second. Very good Barnaba
