We were very welcome and the apartment was indeed very lovely and clean. Staying in Mestre instead of Venice itself revealed very practical, once we didn't had to carry our luggages through a crowded Venice. It took us just 15 minutes by bus and we were there, and the bus stop was a short walking distance from the apartment. The only thing to consider was the shower, not very practical neither stable on its temperature, but perhaps we didn't know how to adjust it correctly...
