We had a real bad experience when our train arrived Venezia Mestre from Florence. It did not even stop for 3mins and it went off! So we ended up in the last station (about 7mins away) at Venice itself. However Filiberto gave us detailed direction via watsapp and we took the bus (No 7 or 7E) right to his door step (with another 2mins walk).
Filierto was an enthusiastic host. He showed us his clean, cosy & yet well equipped apartment. There were adequate cupboard space to put our clothes and luggages. A free bottle of wine was offered but we did not drink as we are not big on wine. He even had bus tickets readily available for us to take the bus into Venice proper (15mins ride)! Other amenities around his apartment like the Tobacco shop where one can purchase bus tickets; restaurants & laundry shop which we used for drying our clothes was clearly explained. The stay was very comfortable and we enjoyed every moment of it. Beds were adequate; clean linens; washing machine etc. Oh by the way there is a loving balcony for breakfast if the weather is much warmer than 1degC!
If we were to visit Venize again, we will go back to this apartment. Thanks Filiberto and we hope your surgery went well! Ciao!
