We stayed here for 4 nights. I want to remind future visitors that they have to take some cash to pay the city tax, its 2,5 per night per person. So if you stay 4 days you pay 20 euros extra. The location is good, easy to find due to good directions of Luca, and it takes 5 min to walk to the station. There are great breakfast options in that area. The train takes 10 min to Venice centre, but buying a tickets takes a bit longer so prepare, machine prints slow. If you have the city pass for public transport you can collect your ticket outside at the bus platform C in front of the station. Took us a while to find. Buses are overcrowded so we took the train a lot. We did not find the neighborhood 'scary' or unsafe, many Asian stores here. Luca's place was exactly what you would expect for this price. Not so comfortable and a bit unclean. Bathroom is shared with the other guests, water doesn't get hot easily and doesn't stay hot for long. Wifi is good, bed is a bit uncomforable. There is a fan if it gets warm. Mosquitos sometimes enter the room because the balcony door couldn't close properly. But then again, you pay this little to stay almost in the center of Venice, so this was expected. If you go out into the city and explore it, you will only be in the room at night. So we personally didn't mind it was a little uncomfortable. Luca is a nice person who will do everything to help improve your stay.
