Dani is a very amiable host. His apartment is within walking distance to a bus/train station where you can get to the main island in 20 mins. He is very willing to talk and give local tips. Although he lives on the mainland, his father grew up on the island of Venice, so he really knows every district there as well should you ask him for advice. He gives breakfast for £2.50, a nice way to charge up for your trip in the morning.
