A wonderful stay In Mestre. Chiara was a most attentive host, there on our arrival with information and a welcome pack with all the essentials. The apartment as spotless and there was a lovely atmosphere. It's very convenient to Venice train and bus station, but a bit of a trek to San Marco. The vaporetto takes about 50 minutes. There was a wonderful pizzeria Cavallino in Mestre with food that was much better than anything we got in Venice, and much cheaper too. All in all a great base. Thank you to Chiara for a wonderful welcome.
