Matteo was very easy to communicate to and he gave us good suggestions for our short stay in Venice. Within 5 min of walking distance there is a bus stop that takes you in 15-20 min to Venice, in the city. If you come back late in the night that might get a little crowded. The apartment has everything one needs for a pleasant stay. The area itself is very safe and there were quite a bit of activities going on when we were there, but since Venice downtown is so close, it's got stiff competition... Definitely recommend if you want to visit Venice and avoid the prices of renting on the island itself.
