Gales was a pretty good host. He helped us store our bags because we got in a lot earlier than we could check in. Our flight got delayed a day and he helped us find a new place that we could stay at for an extra night. Gales was pretty accommodating.
The room was clean and spacious, but the apartment building itself was not great. There are cockroaches in the lobby/outside the door and I have a paralyzing fear of bugs so that was a lot for me. The window by the stairs is also broken and taped shut. It’s a super great location for transportation (the bus stop is right around the corner and 5 min walk from the train station). However, the area itself is not particularly safe. Police heavily patrol the roads, but whenever we were walking, people would warn us that we should not be walking that area alone at night which was a little alarming. It’s about a 20 minute walk from the center/shopping district of Mestre which is beautiful - if I ever come back, I would probably stay closer to there. One good thing about the location is that it’s close to Anda Hostel which is the main nightlife (indoor part is a club, outdoor is more bar-like). Otherwise, the room is pretty much as described and good value.
