Maddalena's space is a modern designer's dream--incredibly well laid-out and efficient--with all the modern conveniences, ripe with impeccable style. We were lucky that our 3-year-old daughter fell in love with the children's room and also the Barbapapa books! The apartment is in a quiet cove, steps from an amazing bakery, bar, and duomo--easily navigable via vaporetto and don't worry if you don't know your way around, she will send you info on the best spots to eat and shop that Venetians prefer. We would be lucky to stay here again in this magical place.
