Emilija was a great host: really responsive and provided us with detailed information.
The place is slightly dated, but is spacious and well furnished.
Location is within reasonable walking distance to the train station (Venezia-Mestre) and it costs about €1.30 per pax to get to Venice station.
On hindsight, it was a good decision to stay outside Venice, as dragging the luggage onto the water buses and along the very crowded cobbled streets of Venice would have been exhausting.
