It's a really great place. Close to the water bus stop, close to shops and close to some gondola stops. It's really quiet, which is nice after a long day of walking! Chris gave us directions, with pictures to the place from the train station and water bus stop. Walking from the train station was not bad. It's a pretty straight shot with only a couple bridges. The apartment was great with heating and AC. Hot water was nearly instant. The kitchen was a good size although we didn't really use it because we were only there for one night.
My suggestion is to buy a water bus pass for your stay. Yes, you can walk everywhere, but the public transportation is pretty efficient and quick. We took a boat to the airport. The apartment is pretty close to that as well. But you must buy a ticket at a ticket office before you get there (You can't buy tickets at that dock).
One recommendation I can give is TORRREFAZIONE CANNAREGIO. It's a coffeeshop not far from the apartment. It's the only coffee roaster in the city, and they make really amazing coffee!
