Affordable places to stay near Venice with easy access to the city?

Hey everyone, I’m thinking about visiting Venice for a few days because it has always been one of the places I wanted to see. The problem is that after checking hotels and apartments inside Venice, everything seems much more expensive than I expected, especially for a short trip.

Because of that, I’m now considering staying somewhere outside of Venice and just traveling into the city each day. I’d love to find a nearby town or area that has cheaper accommodation options, but is still close enough to Venice so that getting there is easy and doesn’t take too much time. Ideally somewhere with good train or bus connections, safe, and convenient for a tourist.

I don’t mind staying outside the center if it helps save money, as long as it’s practical and not too far away. If anyone has done this before or knows good places nearby, I’d really appreciate your suggestions.

Also, if you know any budget hotels, hostels, or areas to avoid, feel free to mention them too. Thanks a lot!Affordable places to stay near Venice with easy access to the city?
