Living in Maras house was easy, very comfortable and like at home for us! The tram to Venice is 100m near by, so we didn't need our car for a week. There is a market, a supermarket and little shops in the center of Mestre and a few bars with typical italian food around. With Mara and her friend we spoak english or french, so the conversation was no problem. We also liked the quick way of sms to organize our stay and the very good introduction in the special way of surroundings (buying tickets for car parking in the tabacco together!). Only the TV did not work, so we had to take our laptop for the news.
Thanks for the nice stay in your appartment and we say goodbye till next time! Elisabeth und Klaus
