My wife and myself stayed at Irene's place in Mestre Venice , prior to a cruise from Venice port with my friends form India and various other parts of the world .we stayed for two days at Ca' Tintoretto_Room 3.1 , Its a house owned by Irenes parents and I understand that the threebedrooms upstairs were rented out as Air bnb, The apartment was very clean, and had ensuite . It was just a few minutes off corso del popolo bus stop and the main mestre tram stop and interchange. The airport shuttle bus took us with our three suitcases for 8 euro each to the nearest bus stop. Our friends had found a place in Marhgera ,which was 27 mts walk, were the main train station to travel to Milan and rest of Italy could be caught. Travelling to Venice Island was also convenient by the bus service from corso delpopolo, just about 20 to 25mts . Except train tickets , a 20 euro /person ticket covered our bus/tram as well as the vaporetta , (water transport) , in venice for 24hrs .The bus would take you directly to Piazzelo Roma, the starting point of the Grand canal and Venice island . As the airnbnb was close to the main street eating out in a small cafeteria even late night was not an issue, I would strongly recommend this place if you are trying to cut costs by not staying in the centre of Venice island as commutation was not an issue at all. I would certainly be happy to stay here again if needed .
