The good and the bad...
We were very welcome from Federico and his wife. There were even some beverages and some vegetables from the place. The house is beautiful, cozy, very clean, just like the pictures. The place is big and comfortable.
We stayed in the place basically to visit Venice and I think is the main reason of everybody that goes there. When I was looking for an Airbnb, I was discarding every place that had 4 or less stars in LOCATION.
So, I mentioned Venice, right? For me, the logic about this location is to give 5 stars for places IN Venice, 4 stars for places NEAR Venice, like Mestre Center, so, how can a place that you have to spend a long time coming and going to attractions, receive 5 Stars on the location?!
So, as described by the owner, you have a walk a Kilometer(1.2 to be exact), 15 to 20 minutes, than you wait and take a bus, that takes around half an hour to arrive at plaza di Roma, at the entrance of Venice, and something around 40 minutes walking(if you don’t stop), to arrive in Plaza San Marco!
On the first night we arrived after 8 pm in Venice, so we came back after midnight, what was the surprise?! NO TRANSPORTATION at all to go back! Yes, we had to walk more than 3.5 km to arrive, because there was no busses and no taxis!
On the second day, going back to the apartment, we walked 35 minutes from San Marco, waited 30 minutes in the line to take the bus, more 50 minutes in the bus to arrive at the station and 15 minutes walking home. More that 2 hours to go back after all day walking around. So, if you ask me if I prefer to pay DOUBLE to stay in Venice, yes I will next time, but maybe this choice is good for you without kids and doesn’t mind taking too long to arrive at home in the end of the day.
