Maddalena's apartment was perfect for us! It is centrally located... about a 10 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge or St Mark's Square, and just enough off the beaten path to be quiet. We always found it easy to get back to by just following signs to the hospital, since it is very close to the main hospital on Venice. This is a huge plus since it is very easy to get a bit turned around in Venice. It is very easy to get to by water taxi, so we didn't have to lug our bags too far. And Maddalena was awesome! She was very responsive and sent us a ton of great information about some of her favorite things in Venice.

One thing to know: every room is on a different level and a very narrow stair case connects each level. This was fine for us, but it wouldn't be for anyone who has trouble with stairs.

Overall fantastic experience! Thanks Maddalena!!
