Our stay in Mara's home made our vacation so relaxing! Mestre is beautiful and just a short bus ride into Venice central. Mara was so accommodating setting us up with bus passes, and plenty of food for our first night in. She was even kind enough to pick us up at the airport and drive us to the bus station! I cannot say enough kind things about Mara and our stay, this was by far my favorite place I have stayed at through airbnb. If you are considering staying here, do it! You'll love it!!
