I highly recommend staying in Mara’s place! Both Mara and Fer were very friendly and helpful, and made me feel at home. On arrival I was picked up from the airport and was given plenty of advice on how to get the most out of my time in Venice.

The apartment is clean and cozy – basically all you need is there. During summer it is especially nice to have air conditioning like Mara’s place does.

The neighborhood is quiet but services are nevertheless near. Mestre is only a short bus ride from Venice and the train station isn’t far if you also want to catch a train to nearby cities like Padua or Verona.

P.S. If you like cats, this is definitely your place. Pepi and other neighborhood cats will be more than happy to hang out with you. :)
