We stayed two nights in Michele's apartment and we had a great time. The apartment is brand new with very nice equipments in the kitchen, security, modern furniture, comfortable double bed in the room and an additional sofa-bed.
We gained an free upgrade of our room, very nice courtesy of Michele's and his administrator, which were very kind people.
We even had the chance to leave our car in their garage for one extra week (since we were gone to a cruise).
The bus stop connecting directly to Venice old city is at walking distance. Although the transfer to the city takes around 30-45 minutes. ATM and Gas stations available nearby, but not so many restaurants or bakeries.
