Some Airbnb’s don’t live up to the expectations provided by the photos, but this one exceeded them! It was clean, stylish and cosy - exactly as it looks in the listing. The apartment looks onto a square with a fountain, so the sound of the water when the French doors were open was very calming. It was also very central in Mestre, only a 5 minute walk to the main bus/tram hub, a supermarket and the town square.
Libero was a fantastic host, and patiently waited for us when we ended up arriving later than expected due to a thunder and lightening storm. He showed us the apartment, giving us top tips for tackling Venice as well as restaurant recommendations (two of which we tried and loved!). We particularly loved the restaurant below the apartment, lovely relaxing vibe, friendly staff, delicious food, and only a 30 second walk from the apartment entrance.
We only left yesterday and have already recommended the place to friends and family if they ever visit the area, and we will definitely be booking next time we come to Venice!
