We stayed a week in Alberto's apartment and it was just perfect! It is brilliantly situated - with the No.2 bus stop which goes into Venice just outside and the train station a 20 minute walk away. We used the latter for a trip to Padua which only took about 30 minutes. We also enjoyed discovering Mestre with its lovely medieval clock tower and stunning square. The apartment was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, really well equipped and very comfortable. We were really grateful for the breakfast items and drinks put out for us too. Alberto's instructions about the apartment were very clear and we were grateful for his recommendations for eating out in Mestre. We'd love to return someday!
