My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay for his 21st birthday. Mariolina was an amazing host, providing local tips, maps, bus timetables and guidebooks. A special touch was homemade pasta sauce from her father and also breakfast food. Her place is perfect in terms of location; a short journey into Venice, minutes away from a bus stop and also train station - so you can be in Venice in less than 15 minutes. Venice Mestre was also nice to explore with a market on saturday morning and the bakery minutes away.
