Barbara's place is super - just as she described it in terms of size and location. This is the 'quieter' end of Venice and so convenient to the beach. Since the bed isn't oriented in the normal way, i set some chairs up against the pillow end of the bed so my pillows wouldn't fall off in the middle of the night, and all was good. The apartment's compact size means it's less expensive than some of the others, and I'd say the value is fantastic considering its proximity to the beach and restaurants.
