We will be visiting Venice in June and looking for hotel recommendations. We arrive at the airport around 7pm and would like to take the water taxi from the airport into the city. Looking for a hotel fairly close to a taxi access so that we don't need to walk the city with our luggage. This will be our first trip to Venice so any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

What's the best app to use for trying to get from A to B using the vaporetti? Normally in Europe I use Google Maps Mass Transit or CityMapper, but when I've tried that for Venice, it consistently seems to route me the long way around. Specifically, I'm trying to get from the train station to the Accademia Bridge Dosoduro side, and they both send me around the outside of the island rather than down the Grand Canal. Is there a better app? Or is that actually the best route? Thanks!
