This place was great! We loved the location - it is not on the island of Venice but in the area called Mestre - there is a square within walking distance that was always full of people - lots of places to eat, drink and shop. The bus/tram was also within very easy walking distance making getting into actual Venice very easy but we didnt have to stay with the crowds or the deal with the high prices in Venice. My husband even got up really early one morning and caught the bus in to enjoy Venice without the crowds while the sun was coming up. The apartment was very clean, comfortable and roomy enough for the 5 of us that stayed there. We were very much at home at this place and would highly recommend it to others.
