It's at least a 15 minute walk to Mestre and then another 20 minutes or so to Venice. The area felt a little ghetto but we were pleased to see that the home had a secure fence and door with key codes.
The place was simple and small , not that spacious but enough for two people. The bathroom had wet floors due to a gap in the shower frames so water will leak out. The place could be more homey but other than that it was fine. We managed to find a dry cleaners near by where washing could be done by the owner charged by an the weight of your clothes. There's some good pizza near a local bakery outside the home. Overall communication was quite good but no welcoming as such by the hosts as you can check in and out yourself.
