We had a wonderful time staying at the apartment. It is very comfortable and has everything that you could need. Stephano and his brother are wonderful hosts and gave us lots of advice on travel and things to do. We loved Venice and because we stayed a week we were able to visit Padua, Verona and Lake Garda. All highly recommended and very easy to reach by train from Mestre station. The water bus is expensive but we got a 2-day travel card and visited most of the islands (Burano was our favourite) and travelled the Grand Canal at night (very pretty with all the lights). I could write a travel blog on all the places we visited but just go and experience it for yourself. You won't be disapppointed.
