You will love staying here in Maddalena's cute apartment along the water. It has everything you need and is perfectly situated in a lovely part of Venice (walking distance away from all the sights) yet in a beautiful, more quiet part of Venice. It was sparlklingly clean and warm (which isn't always the case in places to stay in Venice in winter). What is especially wonderful is seeing the gondolas and the bridge right outside the window with the gondoliers cleverly manoevering them around the corner, just right there next to you. That really makes it extra special, like you really are in the heart of this magical place. Stay here if you can!
