The apartment suited us perfectly, small but clean and comfortable with all amenities. Venice was so easy to reach with a direct tram 2 minutes from the apartment. There is a large supermarket and small shops a few minutes away, and Mestre town centre is very pleasant and only 10 minutes walk. Mara was an excellent host, kindly meeting us from the airport and welcoming us to the apartment and facilities, then keeping in touch without being intrusive.
