Manal’s place and Manal herself are nothing short of AMAZING! She is one of the sweetest people I have ever had the chance of meeting, and she definitely treated us with outstanding kindness.
The apartment itself is adorable. It is nicely decorated, has a huge kitchen packed full with everything you need to cook, there is a washer, 2 bedrooms, and everything else in between. There is coffee and tea, and she even provided us with breakfast for our first day. It is extremely close to mestre station, only about a 10min walk, and about a 5min walk to the bus station which comes every 10min and takes you directly to Venice! There is a delicious pub right down the street, a few other small restaurants and shops, and a grocery store within a few minutes walking also. It is very convenient, but is at the same time in a quiet residential area so you don’t have to worry about any noises being too loud to sleep. When we checked in she also provided us with tons of local tips, as well as a binder stocked full of bus schedules, maps, etc. She was quick to reply to all messages, also. I had a hard time figuring out transportation for my very early morning flight out of Marco Polo apt and she did everything in her power to help me and made sure I had transportation lined up to make it there.
I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Manal herself and her apartment. Our stay was outstanding and we will 100% stay here again if we ever come back to Venice.
Thank you so much again Manal for being so kind and welcoming!
