- `ExecStart` contains the path to `hass` and this may vary. Check with `whereis hass` for the location.

- For most systems, the file is `/etc/systemd/system/home-assistant@[your user].service` with [your user] replaced by the user account that Home Assistant will run as - normally `homeassistant`. In particular, this is the case for Ubuntu 16.04.
