Massimo was a great host and we had a wonderful stay, no qualms about the listing or the space whatsoever. Be aware that to get into Venice is about a 30-45 minute commute via bus, which is usually packed. It made sense for my stay as my boyfriend and I are traveling as cheap as possible, and prices for groceries/coffee/ etc in Mestre is much cheaper than in Venice. We stayed outside high tourist season too. We loved this accommodation!
