Marcello and Luigina were wonderful hosts! They met us at the apartment, showed us around, took us to a local pasticceria for a delicious coffee and pointed out some good food/drink spots. The apartment was cosy with a good shower, comfortable bed and plenty of room. Lots of light and air-conditioning, which was important since it was 34 degrees outside. The location was EXCELLENT - right in the heart of the Cannaregio neighbourhood. We were thinking of staying in Mestre because it was a bit cheaper, but this was definitely worth the extra few euro! I would recommend staying here.
