[Venezia-Mestre] Design Apartment Bros#1

[Venezia-Mestre] Design Apartment Bros#1 Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to [Venezia-Mestre] Design Apartment Bros#1 on Via Paolo Sarpi, I’ll be honest — the entrance doesn’t scream “wow” from the street. But once you climb to the second floor (there’s no elevator, just so you know), you step into something completely different. This four-star apartment feels like stumbling into a design magazine, with clean lines and thoughtful touches that make you forget you’re in a residential building. The Bros team has really nailed that modern Italian aesthetic without going overboard.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about staying in Mestre — you’re actually living like a local instead of being stuck in the tourist bubble of Venice proper. The location score of 9.1 isn’t just marketing fluff; you can walk to Mestre train station in about 8 minutes, which means you’re 10 minutes from Venice’s Santa Lucia station. The neighborhood has this authentic Italian vibe with local cafés and shops, plus you’ll save a fortune compared to staying on the islands. I mean, you get the best of both worlds without the Venice price tag.

The Space Itself

The design here is what sets this place apart — it’s contemporary without being cold, if that makes sense. The room layout is smart and functional, with everything you need but nothing cluttered. The kitchen is compact but well-equipped (I actually cooked a simple pasta dinner one night), and the bathroom feels surprisingly spacious for an Italian apartment. What really impressed me was the attention to detail — good lighting, comfortable seating, and storage that actually works for travelers with real luggage.

Why Couples Love It

I can see why this place gets such high marks from couples — there’s something intimate about having your own little Italian apartment rather than a hotel room. The space feels private and romantic, especially in the evenings when you can open a bottle of wine and plan the next day’s Venice adventures. The neighborhood is quiet enough for a good night’s sleep, but you’re still close to restaurants and that evening aperitivo scene that Italians do so well. Plus, having your own space means you can take breaks from sightseeing without feeling like you’re wasting money on an expensive hotel room.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.7 rating honestly makes sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s the combination of smart design, genuine local atmosphere, and practical location that wins people over. You’re not paying for fancy amenities you don’t need — instead, you get a well-designed space that feels like home, in a neighborhood where you can grab fresh bread in the morning and catch the train to Venice whenever you want. The Bros team has figured out what modern travelers actually want: style, comfort, and authenticity without the tourist trap markup.
