Alberto's apartment was fantastically located on a main bus route 7 to Venice just 15 minutes away. The apartment was also close to mestre old town which has a wonderful pedestrianised piazza with restaurants and shops.It was very easy to get bus tickets from the tabac opposite the apartment.there is local bakeries that sell bread every morning opposite too. there is also a supermarket less than 3 minutes away. Alberto was a great host taking care to explain local services and shops he was very kind and to drive us on the first night to a local supermarket so that we could understand the area Alberto also gave us access 2 to a large south facing balcony which is additional to the small quiet cosy balcony linked to his apartment. Alberto has a real care and attention to design and planting in his apartment and it makes the experience very unique. all in all a fantastic bolthole for Venice daytrippers and would highly recommend.
