We stayed with Marina for two nights and the apartment was great. It was within walking distance from the main touristic parts of Venice - Rialto, Piazza San Marco/St Mark Basilica, and all the museums nearby. There is a Vaporetto station just 2 minutes walk away from the apartment, but we chose to walk throughout our entire trip because it was more fun to do so.

The area is really peaceful at night too, and there are restaurants nearby that close rather late. There is a bridge nearby that allows crossing of the Grand Canal to Dorsoduro, where you'll find more awesome stuff.

Marina was really nice, and gave us a list of places to visit. All in all, our stay was really nice.
