Maddalena's apartment is perfectly located in Venice and is a beautiful space. Most important, Maddalena and her husband are incredible, thoughtful and caring people who assisted us SO MUCH during the unexpected high flooding in the city this November. They did so much for us during this time, we will never be able to repay them for their kindness. Definitely stay at Maddelena's wonderful canal-side apartment. You won't be treated better anywhere and it is the perfect jumping off point to see the city. There are fantastic local restaurants nearby, away from the crowds!
