Pier and Daniela are a dynamic couple and really good hosts. Pier gave me some great suggestions, including local events. The room was clean and roomy. There is a bus stop right across the street to take you into Venice. Later afternoons can get crowded on the buses, so I would walk to the train station and take the short ride to Venice. I preferred staying here in Mestre (new Venice) to avoid the tourist crowds. There is also an open air mall within walking distance with some good restaurants, lots of cafes, shops, etc. It was easy to do some great day trips from here as well. I plan to stay here again in the future. Daniela took me to the train station the last day and even helped lug my heavy suitcase up and down stairs. I was invited for dinner one evening which was very enjoyable. They are wonderful people!
