Claudio's house is located in Mestre, which is about 30 minutes away from Piazzale Roma (Venice) by train, which is very convenient as the city itself has few accommodation options that are good value and is packed with tourists. The house is clean and nicely-furnished. The best part about the place is Claudio himself - he picked up us up from the airport (for a nominal fee), welcomed us with some delicious Prosecco, and went out of his way to explain how to navigate Venice. We hope to return soon!
