This really is a “Nice Apartment” for a visit to Venice! The apartment is very conveniently located in Chirignano, a suburb of Mestre, with a bus stop to Venice about half a block away. We would recommend buying the 12-hour or 24-hour bus pass, available across from the bus stop at the tobacchi, which allows you unlimited access to the buses and vaporeti (water buses) in Venice. We took the #6 bus for the 25-minute trip to and from Piazzale Roma in Venice, and then used the vaporeti to visit San Marco square, Murano, etc. The apartment itself is extremely well appointed, with a kitchen/living room, a bathroom with plentiful hot water, and a separate bedroom. While the apartment is on the ground level of a main street, the noise was not an issue, and there is a lovely little private patio in the back. Other amenities very nearby include a grocery store, a pizzeria down the block, and a bar across the street. Convenient parking and a washing machine were also appreciated. The hosts were very helpful – Bernardino greeted us at the apartment, and kept in touch with us throughout our stay. With his limited English and our even more limited Italian, he was still able to provide all of the information we needed! Although we didn’t meet his daughter, she was very helpful to us through email and the phone, as she does speak English. Thanks again for a great stay! May 2013
