This is a great place to stay if you want to be close to Venice but not so near the tourists. The apartment is just a leisurely 5 min walk to one of the best bus systems we’ve experienced. It takes a quick 10-15 min bus ride to get onto the island of Venice. The Murano place is so very clean and stylish, and was in fact, quite large in comparison to most European places we stayed at. Our hosts gave us great tips for surrounding restaurants and how to get around the city. They were especially kind to let us leave our luggage when we checked out so we could attend church! There is a washer/dryer in the unit, which made it so easy to do our laundry. It also was extremely convenient to have an elevator instead of hauling our luggage up a bunch of stairs. One thing to consider is the walls seem to be very thin and we could hear people’s conversations in the other apartments. We were there only to sleep, so we were pretty tired and the noise didn’t bother us very much. We loved that the building is very secure and one has to have a key to access the entrance. We enjoyed a great 3 day stay and would highly recommend “The Murano Home” to anyone visiting Venice or Mestre!
