Ricky's apartment is great! A very stylish, clean space in an awesome location outside the crowded streets of Venice proper. The bus stop is close by, and the trip into Venice is only 10-15 minutes (€1.50 each way for bus fare). There are plenty of shops/restaurants/cafes nearby, and the atmosphere of Mestre is very fun, relaxed, and safe. Would definitely recommend to anybody travelling to the Venice area!
