Location is great, the house is super-cute - it's really nice having the garden / outdoor space, even though I didn't use it much because it was winter, it made the place seem really private and peaceful. Mara and Fer are very eager to help and checked in on how my holiday was going and are really open, friendly people. I loved staying at Mara and Fer's little house. There were so many little things that Mara and Fer did to make the stay more pleasant, like taking me for a walk to show me the bus stops (and even a bus ticket for my first ride into town!). The house is such great value for money for a holiday in Venice - close to all amenities and the bus into Venice proper. Also a nice 25 minute walk to Mestre train station (theres probably a bus that gets you there too, but the walk through town is pleasant) where there are regular trains all over Italy - Rome in 3 hours, Florence in 2 and the lovely Padova in only 15 minutes. I had the house for three weeks and I really felt like it was my own little piece of Italian real estate. Absolute highest recommendation!!!! And if you do go, take at least a morning to stroll around Mestre, the people are very friendly and it's very lively on market days (Wednesday and Saturday) and make sure you visit Padova - it's a really cool, lively town. I wish I lived in Italy!!!!
