this place is fantastic!!! the apartment is a ten minute walk from the Venezia Mestre station, which is a ten minute train from Venezia Santa Lucia (the main island). you can buy tickets on the trenitalia app or in the station for less than €2. the location couldn't have been better for the price!!! it was so easy to get on the island. the shared room itself is one room in an apartment where other rooms are also rented to other people, so it is almost like a hostel but much, much cleaner, comfortable, and overall nicer than any hostel I've ever seen. Natalia herself is a gem, she is so lovely personally and is an amazing host, even offering us tea and breakfast. she also recommended us a gondolier and helped us book a ride. this place has it all: location, price, and quality!!
