Chiara is the absolute perfect host. By perfect, I mean just that: she responds quickly, her house is lovely, and she goes the extra mile to make sure her guests are as comfortable as possible. She even walked us to lunch at the best tramezzini shop in town, and her suggestion for dinner in Treviso was amongst the best meals we've had in Italy - and we own a house in Emilia Romagna. We also had a hire car which makes Chiara's house even better as she has free parking right outside the door. Mestre itself is a great staging post from which to explore Venice and surrounds. I can't rate Chiara's hospitality highly enough and will definitely stay here again.
