Luca was very helpful with checking in and arrival, and was welcoming and generous (offering us food etc). The room was big, light-filled, and breezy, bed not super comfy but fine. It felt like we had the house to ourselves most of the time. It is less than five minutes walk to Mestre station--we were going into Venice daily, which takes about 10 minutes on the bus or train, so heaps convenient, with a few cafes and restaurants around, and way cheaper than staying on the island itself. The area felt a bit unsafe sometimes (though Venice in general was pretty hostile and sometimes scary for two queer people walking around) but was ok--it looks/feels like any city's backstreets near a train station. Good for somewhere to crash for a few nights.
