Everything was just perfect. The apartment had everything we needed and it is indeed very easy to get to Venice from there. The bus is also really cheap - only 1.30 €! Mara was the perfect host. She picked us up from the airport and showed us everyting we needed to know - the bus stop, the tram stop, where to put the rubbbish etc. She was really friendly and we were able to talk a little in French. If we ever go back to Venice we would go back to Mara's place.
