Fabiano's apartment is ideally located for a speedy transportation to Venice and other locations either by bus or tram service. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the Piazzale Roma Bus Plaza in Venice.The Tram T1 is a 1/2 street away from his apartment and the Mestre Centro Bus Plaza is only about 4 minutes walk away where many buses depart including the 4L to Venice's Piazzale Roma. The 15 bus is nearby which takes you to the Marco Polo airport (about a 10 minute walk). The Venezia/Mestre train station is reachable from Mestre Centro by the T2 Tram and perhaps some other buses.
The apartment is in walking distance to Mestre Centrale, the old part of Mestre where the well kept Piazza Ferrette is and it has many side streets dedicated to pedestrians only. There are many shops, cafes, stores, restaurants, etc there and it is a great to walk around and have a gelato, a café espresso or cappuccino, an Aperol Spritz or glass of Prosecco.
The area around Fabiano's apartment also has many traditional local shops like pizzeria, meat market, vegetables and fruit, pharmacy, cafes, bars and large supermarkets. Mestre Centro also has a newly built enormous fish and vegetable complex. Some of the freshest assortment of fish and vegetables (hard to find veggies) can be found there. There are at least 40 stands in the complex with at least 15 of them dedicated to fish. The complex also has cheese, meat, flowers, spices and products like pasta, oil, vinegar and canned goods and more.
I lived in this apartment for three months and it was extremely comfortable with a Large King Size bed and plenty of closet space, a fully working kitchen with dishwasher and microwave. A roomy bathroom with bidet and washing machine. There is also a long terrace that one enters from the extra bedroom with a single bed (I did not use this room but it could also be used as an office and includes a desk). The kitchen area has the living room with convertible couch and the dining areas with TV. The heating is fine and the rooms are sunny. The windows are large and they do have screens.
The apartment building is quiet and peaceful with elevator and secured entry to the apartment and building.
I highly recommend this apartment and location and Fabiano is an excellent host and helpful and nearby.
I suppose I should add that what is nice about Mestre Centro is being able to ride into Piazzale Roma, Venice and reliving the beauty of it everyday. I went mostly in the evenings to take photographs at night when the calle (street) were empty. I did my shopping for food in Mestre Centro....much easier to take back to the apartment rather than from Venice. I hopefully can come back to Fabiano's apartment again.
