It might be a touch noisy at night, but two floors up should make that less of a bother and there are always earplugs.
You'd be right at the heart of some of the "best bits", though everywhere is actually within walking distance. You will definitely want to see St Mark's (don't miss the museum upstairs with the horses) and the Doge's Palace anyway, and an apartment there would provide a good bolthole afterwards, which might help you avoid paying the stupid money for a sit-down and a drink in the Piazza itself. Lots of waterbuses call there, but it's an easy walk to the Rialto too.
We stayed in a hotel near the station, which made arrival and departure easy, but meant a walk every day to get where we were planning to go. That turned out to be one of the best bits. Everywhere you go in Venice you turn a corner and see another breathtaking picture. Take spare camera batteries and memory cards in bulk!
A tiny apartment is fine for a place that lives half outdoors anyway. I'd say go for it!
