Wonderful place to stay! The apartment itself is very clean and well equipped, really like a home (a very spacious one!) away from home ^ v ^ ! It is easy to connect to Venice mainland yet allows you to escape from tourists and experience the real lifestyle of Venetian in Mestre town centre. Local shops around definitely worth repeated visits, especially the grocery store (the lady runs the shop really very friendly and helpful, food qualities are good too !), the cafe at the corner and the gelato shop near the clock tower. Last but not least, Paolo and his friend Fabio are both very very nice and highly responsive, especially Fabio, very friendly and gave us useful travel tips!! Great thanks to both of them!!
