From beginning to end, our stay at Cassa Maddalena was excellent. The location of the house was perfect. Our stay began when we were greeted by Giovanna’s lovely associate, Diana at the Crea vapoeretto stop. After a very short walk (less than 3 minutes) we arrived at the house. Diana showed us around, and we enjoyed the snacks that graciously had been left for us. The house was beautiful and very clean. We extremely happy with the location of the house; when we booked it, we didn’t realize how perfect it would be. We were extremely close to the vappertto stop (Crea), and a short walk to the train and bus stations. The neighborhood also boosts a variety of good, close by restaurants, and was close enough to the main shopping area and some of the bigger attractions (~ 15-20 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge) to be very convenient, but was not overrun with tourists.
