We stayed at Mara's place for two weeks. It is on the ground floor of a two-floor house in a quiet neighbourhood, just one tram stop from Mestre centro (the tram goes straight to Venice's Piazzale Roma). Mara and her sister Fer met us at Mestre railway station (FS), gave the keys, showed around the facilities and treated with some Italian ice cream. A bottle of wine, pasta and souce were waiting for us inside the apartment. The double bed is comfortable, the window blinds are very useful, all facilities are in good working order.
