This place is located in an outlying area of Mestre, a Venetian suburb on the mainland. It is semi-rural and peaceful.
To reach Venice old town without a car, you can either take the number 10 bus, which stops very nearby, to Mestre train station and then catch a train into San Lucia station, or walk to Chirignago and catch a bus directly into Venice. The number 10 is a little infrequent, especially in the evenings and we found this the most inconvenient aspect of our trip.
The apartment is clean and well-looked after. It is on the second floor in an attic conversion. There is a bedroom with a double bed, a bathroom and sitting room/kitchen with a comfortable sofa bed. We found that it had everything we needed for two nights. There was an issue with the WiFi on the last night but the host was communicative and helpful in resolving it. There is a shop not far away and a larger supermarket near Mestre station.
The host was easy to contact before and throughout the duration of our stay. Access is via a code for the apartment door which is sent by the host a couple of days before arrival. The code is only valid from the time of check in at 1pm. Bags cannot be left in the apartment early although the host very kindly suggested that we could use the communal laundry room. We left the tourist tax in cash in the kitchen table on the day of our departure.
We would recommend this place to those seeking a more peaceful place to stay during a visit to Venice or the surrounding area, particularly if you have a car or if you are travelling light.
