Alessandro was a great host and he patiently waited for us, as our boat was 5 hours late! There was some basic food in the apartment which turned out to be very useful, as all dining places were closed at the time we arrived, about 22:00. Alessandro explained everything we asked and gave us maps of Mestre and Venice! The apartment was really clean and comfortable and about 25 minutes by bus to Venice. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, even though it was just for one night!
