Maddalena's apartment is located in a very accesible part of Venice. From the main train station you can either walk or take the vaporetto to a nearby station. Also very close to all main attractions.
The shower can be a little inconvenient, specially if you are tall. But this was not a major problem for us.
Maddalena was able to let us check in earlier which was extremely helpful. A few days before check in, she sent me a lot of information about nearby restaurants, things to do in Venice, and directions on how to get to her place.
It was a great stay in Venice. Definitely recommend her place.
