Once you decide to not stay on the Island (if you are like us and traveling for a while with a car full of stuff, then you definitely wont!) then this is the best possible place. The apartment is very nice, clean, warm with a modern kitchen with lots of goodies left for us to eat. The bus into the island leaves from just outside the door and takes about 20-30 mins depending on when you catch it - we would recommend avoiding the 4.45-6pm times - and only costs $1.50 euros each way. The bus leaves late from Venice and so it is easy to spend a nice evening on the island. Near the apartment there is a bakery, grocer and big supermarket. Highly recommended.
