Damiano was a great host with good communication. We got a little lost after we got off the water bus, but he found us and walked us to the stylish apartment where he had recommendations of nearby places to eat and drink. The area was about a 15 minute walk to St. Mark's Square, which is far enough away to be nice and quiet. Burano and Murano are just a 45-minute water bus ride away and so is the Rialto Bridge if you don't feel like walking 30-40 minutes. Overall, we loved Venice and loved Damiano's home. We highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again.
