I had a fantastic week at Michela's apartment! The place was in Mestre, which is a very nice suburb outside Venice with an organic supermarket and vegetarian restaurant nearby. The 2 bedroom, 3 bed apartment is very clean and has a big balcony. The bus and tram are a minute's walk away, and take about 30 minutes to get to Venice itself. I'm so glad I decided to book a place outside Venice, because Venice is very crowded in summer, and it was nice to have a quiet haven to retreat to after the hustle and bustle of the day.
