we had a great stay at Maria's place. it was clean and well equipped. Maria was an excellent host and was very gracious about waiting for us for check-in when our bus was late and we missed a connection.
The place is right near the Malcontenta Chiesa bus stop, which provided convenient access to Mestre station (via line 43) and Piazzale Roma (via line 53E - per Malcontenta). We found the bus timetables on G maps to not have exactly the right times for passings, but the ACTV site was a more accurate. A one-way/75 min ticket cost €1.50, but has to be purchased at a tabacchi, bus station or the hotel across the road. Getting to Piazzale Roma in Venice took about 20 mins.
wifi internet was good, with download speeds around 30mb/s and upload around 7mb/s.
there is a produce store and small supermarket a few blocks away in malcontenta where you can pick up food and essentials. the local pizzeria called A Casa Mia was fantastic! definitely check it out!
