Great location right by the water and mere moments from Zattere water stop made it easy to find. Take the longer blue line Alilaguna from Marco Polo airport to see around the island and then it's just a minute or two to get to the apartment. There are a few restaurants around, though not as many as I thought there would be at night, but you can find some a short walk away. There is also a grocery store quite near. It's a short and fairly direct walk to the Accademia bridge which takes you over to all the big sights like San Marco Square. We felt very safe walking around at night and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. I was initially worried that it was too far out of the way when I booked it, but I was completely wrong and it was easy to get everywhere.
