Ludo's place is perfect for a solo traveler. It is very conveniently located. It is a 5 minute walk to the apartment from where the train station is and where the airporter drops you off. Ludo met
me at the bus and helped me with my bags. Local transportation to Venice is across the street and takes about 10 minutes to get there.
The accommodation was clean and as pictured. it was a large room with a desk and area to lounge. It was very quiet at night.
Lud o was a superb host and had many great suggestions on things to do. I did a tour with him one day of areas of Venice that I would never find again, including visits to Osterias for venetian appetizers and local drinks. I tried things I never would have on my own and saw areas I wouldn't have found. we even went on a short gondola ride across the grand canal.
Mestre was a nice place to wander around with a huge supermarket near by as well as smaller vendors and lots of restaurants and some very.good gelato.
I highly recommend staying with Ludo for a great way to see Venice.
