This was our first Airbnb as a family of 4. Context: 2 teachers, 2 sons (8&5) travelling through Italy to main cities from north to south of Italy over 2 weeks. We were travelling from Milan and our next stop would be Pisa. We stayed here for 3 nights. We came in from Mestre mainline station and was advised of a 10-15 min walk from the station. Although this is probably the case, it took us 25 minutes once we were able to navigate properly and walk with our luggage and 2 boys. We arrived and felt like we'd inconvenienced the host, Chiara as she'd been online and noted that our train was 4 minutes late (even though it was 10!) and that she had to rush our check in as another check in was waiting (even though we said we would arrive at the time we actually did!). Check in was thorough however and she allowed us to ask any questions we had. City tax was paid then. The local supermarket was the best we'd experienced across our whole stay there. Bring bags if you can. Its a 2 min walk round the corner (SIMPLY supermarket). The local tobacconist (across the square) sells the venice card which allows you travel on all of the boats around venice. This includes bus and tram from mestre too. We took both. Bus is quicker from just outside on the main road, but will get stuck in traffic as you entre Venice itself during rush times (The ad says you get there in 15 minutes - again, unrealistic. Allow 30 minutes). The tram goes to the main centre of Mestre to the main venice tram station. Chiara advised 6-7 min walk. Again, although realistic if you are local, only after a good few times walking back and forth using various routes, can easily take 10-15 min depending on speed and route you take. The trams go into Venice later and come back later than the buses do too. Be careful to not get caught out. We left San Marco on our last night around 10.20 ish and just about got on the last tram (Venice S.P to San Marco on Linea 1 is about 44 min).The Airbnb was clean, well equipped and spacious. Air Con is in 2 rooms but lacks in the main bedroom and so was mega hot in the evening. We did not want to put it on as there was a sign to not over use them as we would be additionally charged 3 euro per KWH! This seemed a bit harsh TBH! We were also needing to be mindful of how much hot water to use (there were signs!) and also not to put the AC on when we were using the kitchen stove and oven. Tough going in the height of SUmmer. The stove is temperamental and you cant seem to adjust the cooking heat on more than one hob without it affecting the other 3. Very...
