This is a terrific flat in a wonderful area of Venice. Nice and close to San Marco but not in the heart of the tourist area. Great neighbourhoods nearby with good restaurants and bars. The flat is much more spacious than I had imagined it would be and the kitchen has everything you could ever need. Maddelena was easy to contact in advance and kindly let us store our luggagge when we had a late flight. The flat has been refurbished and its really lovely with interesting, modern design - fantastic value for money. Its worth knowing that the beds don't have frames (they are mattresses on the floor), but we found them very comfortable. The only real problem was that Maddalena requests that you don't made the wall wet alongside the shower - this really means its almost impossible to have a shower and you have to stick to baths. This is a bit awkward, but otherwise a great stay.
