I booked the apartment for 2 people.
I think all the apartments in the block are airbnb lets. It is a small block of 3 or 4 floors with 2 apartments on each floor about a 2 minute walk from Mestre station. Walk a bit further (10 mins the other direction) and you stumble across thriving, bustling market selling meat, fish, vegetables, bedding, clothes etc. and shopping centre.
Our apartment was clean and has all of the basics. I do not think that it would comfortably accommodate 5 people for too long as there is one double room with a double bed and a single sofa bed. The lounge area and the kitchen are open plan, roll into one and accommodate a double sofa bed. There is not enough sofa space/ relaxation space for 5 people. In my opinion the apartment is suitable for 2 adults and a child.
The bathroom is small and houses the washing machine. The mould in the bathroom needs to be cleaned. The wiring on the bedroom ceiling would not meet UK standards.
The ladies who came to change the sheets and towels at the end of the first week are friendly and welcoming and the owner is always accessible via Whats App.
