Located in a quiet, non-touristic neighborhood (Favaro) on the Venetian mainland, this very well-organized and stylish house is within steps of both the most active bus line (Number 19) as well as the tram (which I preferred). The tram runs very regularly, even in the early morning hours, and requires only 30 minutes to arrive at Piazzale Roma from which you can either walk around Venice island or select from numerous transport options e.g. vaporetti (public bus boats), private boats, trains, buses.
After settling me into 1 of their 3 artistically designed apartments and providing me with WiFi connectivity, Attilio, Luciana and their daughter provided me with a map and many friendly and helpful orientation tips, which made travel within Venice easy and enjoyable.
The property is provided with a security code main gate and motion-detection lighting that helps when returning from late-night forays. Inasfar as the apartment itself, after entering with a keycard, the compact space is divided by a muralled wall into a comfortable combined living, dining and kitchen area on one side and the bedroom area with a big, comfortable bed, reading lights on both bed sides and a long recessed shelf for mobile phones, alarm clocks, books, etc.
Features that I found outstanding were the electrically-controlled Venetian blinds (literally in this case LOL), radiator in bathroom that can be used to quickly dry wet clothes and the well thought-out bathroom with its bidet and excellect lighting.
In the immediate neighborhood, which is where real Venetians live, you can buy groceries at much cheaper prices than on Venice island. Down the main road (Via Altina) about 15 minutes walk distant is a large "Ali" supermarket, where you can buy everything culinarily possible. Closer by are smaller bakeries and specialty stores, such as "Alimentari Oriella" offering an excellect assortment of cheeses, cold cuts and some bread.
Although the weather was rather drizzly during my stay there, all in all, it was a most enjoyable sojourn in Venice. I highly recommend a stay at Attilio's!
