Andrea is as great of a host as you can find. He organised for a slightly earlier time to drop off luggage, and met us there to show us the place. He also had a ton of tips for Venice: where to eat/go etc. The place is clean, tidy and has most of the facilities you need for a longer stay.
The house has a bus stop that takes you into Venezia right at its steps (every 20 minutes and takes about 20 mins to get to the island). There's a coffee spot in the corner if you are waiting for the bus. its a 30 minute walk from Venezia Mestre or a 5 minute bus ride.
Only downside, it's in the quieter side of town and requires a bit of walking to get to some places.
