we had a great time and the appartment played a central role in that, we cooked a meal of our own with fresh vegetables from the nearby rialto market, some of which were completely new to us, such as agretti... and our last night we had a superb dinner at la zucca, just around the corner, over the bridge... maddalena and her husband were the perfect hosts and made us feel very welcome and the view from the window with the gondolas passing right under our window is something to cherish, something that will stick long after our stay...
