Matteo's apartment is very large and clean, and has a bus stop right outside that takes one to Piazzale Roma on the island of Venice, where one can take a vaporetto to explore the rest of Venice.
Marco was exceptionally hospitable; he picked us up at Venezia Mestre train station (having waited for us for half an hour as we lost our way), dropped us on the island so that we weren't burdened by our bags, and also gave us a ride back to the apartment in the evening (he *did* charge us extra for this, though, but it was more convenient and comfortable than the bus). At the apartment, he even made us cups of coffee, and gave us tips to explore for the next day.
