Mariella's apartment is in a great location. The bus into Venice station, where the water buses leave from, is just across the road. The supermarket is only a couple of doors down the street and there is a great patisserie around the corner. The apartment was clean and just as presented in the photos. We had everything we needed in the way of cooking . The apartment is secure with a lobby to the outside which is only accessible by key. Mariella was very helpful and always quick to respond to emails. The Venice Mestre train station is an easy 15 minute walk away so it's great if you want to do day trips to say Verona or Padua.
