The apartment is brand new and very comfortable for a family with 2 kids, it is close (5 min walking) to the bus stop to Venice piazzale Rome and close to the center of Venezia Mestre (10 min walking) where you can find nice restaurants/pizzerie for the evening.
Andrea is a great host, he helped us with our luggage and this gave us the possibility to spend the full day in Venice without waiting for the formal check-in.
