we stayed in Raoul's place for 2 nights during a 2 week tour of Italy. The apartment is in a great location, close to bus stops that bring you into the island of Venice. The apartment was clean & tidy, and we had assigned space to leave food items in the fridge.
This place is perfect if you are looking to explore Venice and Mestre. Raoul even allowed us to leave our baggage much earlier than check in which let us really maximise our time there.
Great communication also!
