After the Christmas holidays we spend a week in this BnB in Mestre which is close to Venice. Here are some thoughts of us!
Notes about the arrival:
It is easy to get from Airport Marco Polo to Mestre because there is a transferbus directly to Mestre Mainstation which costs only 8€ (instead of a taxi drive which is about 40€). From Mestre Mainstation you just need to switch into a public Bus No. 10 (1,50€ ticket) which goes near to the BnB and then it’s just a few minutes of walking.
Area and getting to Venice:
The area around the BnB is quite calm and there are just some small shops to get something to eat/drink. There are almost no tourists, which we personally appreciated. Our main goal was to see Venice which was very easy, because you have a good bus connection. After a 10 minutes walk, we preferred to take bus No. 7/7E from station “Miranese Monteverdi” which goes directly to Venice. The ride takes like 20 minutes and the bus drives often! You get the same way back to the BnB.
Host and the BnB.
Oscar was super nice and friendly! He took his time in the morning to tell us everything we need to know about Venice, public transfers, prices and gave us a lot of useful tips!
Next to the BnB is the restaurant of Oscar where you can eat typical Italian dishes, meat etc. The BnB itself was small and basic but had everything that you need. The room and especially the bathroom was “okay” clean because we had several areas which were a bit dusty and not super duper clean. During these 7 days the room was cleaned after a few days, so that we took the trash out mostly by ourselves. But we were given fresh towels a few times and we still felt quite comfortable in our room!
There was only one bigger issue: Thin walls. We were unlucky with guests next to us that did not seem to be interested in behaving respectful. Because of the thin walls you could hear everything that was said and hear things you didn’t want to hear...in the middle of the night.. Because of that, it was very hard for us to find good sleep during the last 3 days. We think that’s good/important to know just in case you are sensitive to noises.
