This is my first time writing a review so I will try my best to write it objectively with all my personal opinions included. Here goes:
First and foremost, Venice was widely known to be an expensive town to be living in so having stay outside of the main tourist spot gives a large discount to my travel budget. Initially, my thoughts were "for this price I'm paying, as long it has all the basic necessities, it's fine". However, both me and my gf felt like we entered a home rather than a private accommodation. It was extremely cosy; in my opinion, it felt like we were returning home. Albeit the communication barrier, Lia always has her iPhone around to translate so communication was not problem. In fact, it makes the whole experience even more wonderful. On top of that, her daughter Sara, is always actively providing me with assistance via email even though she's not physically present. Communication was never an issue during this stay. The location of the place is easily accessed via buses or tram although it might be slightly far from the mestre station. Nevertheless, if all modes of transport fail, one could still walk to the station (that's what we did on one of the days to experience the neighbourhood in Venice). The bus heading to Venice is just a couple of minutes away and so is the way back.
Now for the host: Lia and Anthonio (I may have spelt it wrongly) are really kind folks who will go the extra mile to provide anything you require. Throughout our stay, we have been offered homemade pastries several times and they were extremely delicious. Kudos to them for making such awesome food! Since my gf and me are in our mid twenties, they felt like our parents and the feeling was just amazing. Imagine having family members overseas waiting for your arrival.
Just some points to note; 1)at night, the neighbourhood is extremely quiet and dark. 2) it's about at least 10minutes from the nearest convenient store. For all the aforementioned, it can be solved easily with some planning. All and all, the place is amazing for its price and we will definitely go back to them if I ever visit Venice again.
