The little apartment is lovely, perfect for myself travelling alone and would be suited to a couple also. It does require some patience to get to Venice but if you are in no hurry and your holiday is lengthy, I would recommend this place. It has air con too - Venice can get very hot so this was a bonus! Mestre itself is a very very quiet village, so if you are one to escape the touristic centres this little getaway would be perfect! I think the low price reflects its location. Mara and her sister are very charming an friendly! Thank you for all your kindness and I hope to see you in Australia one day :)
