Manal's place is really wonderful and she is an exceptional host. She came to greet us at the apartment and explain everything from buses to Venice to local places to eat. The apartment is only 10-15 minutes to Venice by bus. There are good cafes and restaurants in the area. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Manal was very responsive and she welcomed us with a bottle of wine which was really thoughtful of her. We would definitely try and book her place the next time we are in Mestre.
