Tommaso and Lucrezia were quite helpful in suggesting places to go, eat and visit. They allocated us some space in one of their cupboards in the kitchen and in the fridge, so we felt quite comfortable in preparing and having breakfast every day. There is everything you need to make food and we were welcome to use what we needed. Thanks!
The house is located about 10-13 minutes walk to Mestre centrum where we took the bus or tram to Venice pretty much every day (1.5 euros pp one way). The pizza place only a few minutes walk was our favourite.
Our room was spacious but was quite cold because of either the marble floor or the small radiator relative to the room size, or both. We asked if they would increase the temperature and leave the heating on in the mornings. But we did not feel the temperature changed afterwards, so we felt quite cold the whole time. The shower head, which you need to hold yourself while showering, is really tiny and there is no glass/curtain around the bathtub that would prevent the water from splashing around.
The city tax was 2 euros pp per night and paid up to 5 nights.
