Mattia's place is amazing. The building is not flashy and even a little misleading but once inside, the facilities are amazing. Breakfast needs to be bought as there are no facilities to cook, only water heater and some coffee/tea. When travelling from Venice to Mestre always look for the most up to date information for the Tram; when we visited Venice the Tram had a reduced service (ending early) and the backup service was being provided by bus. The caveat was that during our stay there was a bus strike and thus we were left with no service from Venice to Mestre on a Friday night. We had to take the train and the a cab back to the appartment. Be on the lookout as, from our experience, the tram service may not be always spot on. Aside from that, Mattia's place was great :)
