The host was very affable and helpful as we got off at the wrong station (Mestre instead of Santa Lucia). She waited for us until we arrived and arranged a power to help with our luggage. The apartment is located in a charming area within walking distance across the bridge from the Santa Lucia station.

The flat itself is new and fairly well decorated. It is split into 3 levels. You have to negotiate a flight of steps to get to the living areas on which there are 2 bedrooms, one bathroom and a dining room. You have to negotiate another flight of steps to get to the main bedroom and the kitchen as well as the 2nd bathroom. The bathrooms are all not en suite. The host does not provide toiletries but clean towels are provided. There is a heater in the bathrooms on which you can dry your towels after use.

There is a cafe downstairs where you can get coffee and food (breakfast and pasta/pizza). The flat is close to supermarkets and restaurants. The best part is that its really conveniently located close to the train station and boat stops.

It was a fairly good experience staying at this flat. It can definitely house 7 people comfortable as advertised.
