Not in the heart of Venice but close to the Mestre station which is one stop away from all the sights. No need to ride a cab once you arrive as the place is walkable from the station so that is a plus. Lots of restos and convenience stores nearby. Stayed for just a night but the neighborhood seems family friendly. Corina was strict on the check out time though and did not allow us even a short extension so we had to get up early and fix our things. Otherwise a hassle free stay!
