First and foremost, it was a pleasure working with Barnaba. He was always fast to respond, and when we arrived he met us at the vaporetto stop so we could easily find the apartment. We found the location to be excellent - the apartment was quiet and away from crowds, yet a short walk to Rialto bridge and easy to walk to St. Marks and other sites. The apartment is very nice, very much as it appears in the listing. Highly recommend!
