This was exactly what I needed to enjoy a fantastic few days in Venice. The apartment is no frills (reflected by the price band) but has all the basics you might need (might be a bit too cosy for more than just a couple?).
Christian gave me lots of information about the area, got the place ready for me a little earlier and met me on time at the apartment for check-in.
Mestre is really convenient for Venice and way more affordable! I had 3 full days and bought an unlimited rides ticket covering all ACTV vaporetto services plus the bus that gets you in and out of Venice from Mestre. Excellent value. Buses are frequent and the train station is also a short walk away. All In all, absolutely ideal for my requirements.
