Such a wonderful experience! Rosa is the perfect host. Her apartment is exactly as described, if not better. Very clean, well decorated, and well-lit. The neighborhood is very quiet too, so sleep-ins are no problem. The mornings were an absolute treat, as Rosa prepares the perfect breakfast. Her tips on how to get around Venice, and things to see, were also very much appreciated.
The apartment is very close to city buses and the train, which take you to Venice in 10 minutes or so. There are also a number of reasonably-priced restaurants around, so if you want to eat in Mestre, you’ll be well served.
