Emilija picked us up by car from just outside the train station, which was really nice since we arrived at night when it was dark out and so we didn't have to drag our luggage to her place (although it is really close to the train station). The gesture of picking us up was really sweet! Emilija gave us a map, excellent directions and recommendations for our one day in Venice. Her place was awesome! AC, washer, amazing view of Mestre, and just a really cute apartment.
