Lucano's place is great, and spacious. and Lucano is a very helpful and friendly person. communications were spontaneously answered. its a minute walk to the bus station for a 12 minute ride to Venice. the bathrooms were fantastic, with great water pressure and running hot water. all in all, a great stay.
just a couple of reviews about Venice Mestre for future guests (as i wished i had known these beforehand), and i dont know where to post them.
1. unless you are arriving and departing on platforms 1 and 2 of the Venice Mestre train station, there is absolutely no wheelchair access to the exit. There is a help center called sarla blue, but you have to prebook the service beforehand. we had a tough time to get my mother in law to exit the station, and besides one very sweet lady at the ticket service, no one was willing to help.
2. i had been warned about pickpockets, but never thought it would happen to me. i was pickpocketed at the bus station just outside the apartment. they were professionals, quick and works as a team. just a reminder to be extra careful
