Emilijana's apartment was fantastic! Andre picked us up from the train station and gave us an insider's guide to Venice. After spending a whole day in Venice, we were glad that we were staying in Mestre (watching people lug their suitcases up and down the bridges to get to their hotels did not look fun). The apartment is about a 5 minute walk to the bus stop- Andre taught us to take the #2 bus to and from Venice (about a 10-15 minute ride).
The apartment itself is bigger than I thought it would be! It is comfortable. Emilijana checks in on us via airbnb messages and she is the absolute best!
We would definitely stay here again when we come back.
