Maddalena's house is great, much much nicer than the photographs! In a quiet residential area but very close enough to everything. Very close to a Vaporetto stop that takes you to other islands. We had a fantastic weekend visiting the Biennale. The house has loads of character, lots of Architecture books and feels like a welcoming family home. Quiet at night so easy to get a good nights sleep. Has Wifi.

Kitchen has everything you would need to cook but we ate out mostly. We followed her advice on places to eat and went to an amazing tiny restaurant just round the corner one evening.(if you stay with her you have to go).

I was staying with a friend so they took the top, attic room and I stayed in the middle floor, living room with sofa bed. Worked well. Bathroom also very nice. I would recommend staying here.
