Staying is Mestre was a good and slightly cheaper altnerative to staying in Venice. Marco and his staff were extremely accomodated and helpful. Though our airbnb transaction was smooth, this experience was unlike oother airbnb experiences in that you feel as though your staying in a hotel. Location of the building is good and surrounded by a number of shops and in close prominity to public transit. Overall this apartment was a good experience, but we did not get the "home" experience that I am used to recieving on airbnb.
