Giovanna and her parents, Marta and Bernardino are very lovely and generous people. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Bernardino gave us a ride to the Mestre train station, which we greatly appreciated. Giovanna's directions for getting to the apartment via public transportation were perfecto. Even though the apartment is 20-25 minute bus ride from Venezia, it worked for us. We enjoyed the experience and with the ACTV card it was easy and affordable. The apartment was everything it said it was in the listing. For sure, I would recommend this apartment and the lovely hosts.
