Good location for a visit to Venice and north eastern Italy
On first sight this didn't look too promising as it appears to be in a rather uninspiring block of apartments. However, we were met on arrival by Nick who took the time to show us around a spacious, elegantly furnished 4 bedroom apartment. There are two large double bedrooms, a slightly smaller twin with an ensuite shower and a large single. All our party commented that their beds were very comfortable. There is an additional shower room and a bathroom.
The kitchen is small with rather tired units and could do with a deep clean. There is a good size fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier. The oven and hob had seen better days and are in need of a clean.
The lounge is large and very elegantly furnished with a balcony. It's a wonderful place to chill after a busy day out.
There is air-conditioning in each of the bedrooms, the kitchen and the lounge. The weather was particularly hot whilst we were there and the air-conditioning was marginal.
The location is brilliant for access to Mestre town centre which is very pleasant and significantly less pricey than Venice. The Museum M9 is 10 mins walk from the apartment and is well worth a visit.
The No2 bus to/from Venice stops right outside the apartment. The bus runs 3-5 times an hour depending on the time of day. This bus also stops at Mestre Railway Station which is a 10 min walk down Via Piave. We took a day trip to Verona and train tickets are cheap if you book in advance.
There is a good sized Eurospar supermarket 5 mins walk from the apartment and there is also a good Chinese restaurant across the street.
Nick was very helpful and arranged our transfer to the airport for €10/head which turned up on time in a very smart Mercedes minibus.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it as a base for visiting Venice and rail trips to other cities in north eastern Italy.
