Rafaella and her husband were such welcoming hosts. They gave us a lot of helpful information in regards to transport, the best ways to see Venice and also local supermarkets etc. The Mestre train station was only a 5-10 minute walk from the apartment making it very easy to get to. The apartment was spotlessly clean and fresh, very spacious and the private terrace outside was a lovely place to relax in the evenings. To get to Venice itself was very easy as the local bus stop was only a few minutes walk away. One direct bus ride into Venice took approx 10 mins, costing €1.50pp. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment.
