Mariolina was waiting for us on the street as we arrived. The flat was in great condition. The air conditioner worked great so the hot August nights didn't make any difference to us. The proximity to the Mestre bus station and to bus lines that go directly into Venice was great. The travel time required to get from the flat to Venice was relatively small compared to getting around a large city. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking implements and utensils. There's city-wide energy restrictions that make cooking a bit more difficult than most are used to (a breaker gets tripped if you operate multiple high amperage appliances at the same time). It's not something that affects this AirBNB more than others but it does limit the value of having a kitchen when you travel. Overall, if I were going back to Venice again, I would absolutely seek out staying at Mariolina's flat. We had a great time.
