The reason that we chose to stay with Daryl is because of the previous reviews of him as a host. They were not wrong! The boat trip with Daryl from the station to his apartment was honestly the most memorable part of the whole week. Any time we needed advice on where to go, Daryl would be there to give us tips, and in return we told him about the little gems that we found around the city, for you, the future guests to enjoy.

The area is a lovely, quiet pocket of Venice, which has far less tourists, but is within easy walking distance of everywhere that you could want to visit. On our first day, we stumbled upon St Marks Square by accident and were amazed at how short the walk was!

If we ever find ourselves in Venice again, we will definitely be staying with Daryl.
