Leandro's apartment is in an excellent Location. it's only a fifteen minute walk from Mestre station FS. And about a five minute walk to the 2 bus which will take you right into Venice. (there is a tobacco shop right by the bus stop, they sell tickets. There is also a ticket machine at Mestre FS station.)
The neighborhood is quiet and pretty. We felt safe and it was nice being away from the crowds in Venice, while still being only a short bus ride away.
The apartment is very dark at night which makes it easy to fall asleep, and hard to wake up, so make sure you set your alarm. The bathroom is very generously sized for the overall size of the apartment, my only complaint about the bathroom is that the shower doesn't get super hot.
Leandro kept awesome conact with us, he was very responisive. I would definitely reccomend his place if you want a cozy stay outside of Venice.
