Andrea was a great host! Very quick with responses and his knowledge of bars/restaurants and Venice is amazing. His apartment is very clean, modern and has comfy beds! The apartment is only a 3 minute walk to the bus stop which takes you right into Venice (about 15 minutes on bus). I loved my stay in Mestre which also had nice restaurants and great shops which are so local. Try Da Pino restaurant in Mestre if staying local. Pizza was amazing! Thanks so much for your hospitality Andrea- we will be back!
