Elly's place was very comfortable and cosy, providing the perfect space to relax in after a day exploring Venice. Transport links between Mestre and Venice are excellent - the bus stop is a short walk from the apartment, the bus journey is around 15 minutes, and the buses themselves are very frequent. Utilizing the local supermarkets (Ali and Lidl) is a good way of saving some money on food and drink, and both are to be found within a walkable distance from the apartment. Elly is a great host, and we will certainly look to stay in her apartment should we return to the area in the future.
