My girlfriend, me and our dog stayed at giannis place for 3 nights. He was a good host and very helpful. every time we needed something he helped us. We were also able to cook in the clean kitchen. One minute walk from his house was a bakery and the bus stop is two minutes away. It takes 15 minutes to drive into venice by bus. 5 minutes to walk from giannis is also a very good ice cream place. Generally Marghera is the perfect place to stay when you want to visit venice because of its good prices concerning accomodation and good infrastructure, which makes it easy to go to venice.
