If like us you like to take a break from hyper-touristic venice, this place is great. Of course you have to take a bus to go to Venice but the bus station is not far from the appartement and Mestre old town has lots of charm, great little places (wine bar, cool bars, really good restaurants) very close to the appartement. The old town is small but has a more authentic feel than Venice, less tourists shops and you feel more like a local. The appartement is really beautiful and Eleonora leaves coffee and other things that will make you feel like home. It is super clean and well decorated and the small terrasse is great. Eleonora's brother came to pick us up really late at the airport, that made our arrival so much better! And a great welcome, he made us feel at home right away with his kindness.
