Wow, you cannot beat this apartment. It's in an amazing location, on a canal with a quaint little bridge right outside your balcony, where you can watch the gondolas pass by and also next to a beautiful little square, where the church bells ring, the locals congregate to drink wine and the kids play soccer. It's in easy walking distance to absolutely everything also. You are surrounded by beautiful restaurants and eateries. It doesn't get any better. We didn't get the chance to meet Maddalena but she was super responsive, check in was easy and the apartment was very clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. She even left us a bottle of wine! Thank you for having us, we loved it!
