Rocco's place was great for our Feb. get away. we ususally stay in the 6th Arr. but enjoyed this much better as it was quieter and had more amenties very close to the apartment. Rocco could not meet us and he arranged for a friend to greet and meet us, explain the access and all of the internal workings of the appliances in the apartment. Any questions I had Rocco responded immediately. The kitchen was well stocked with any sort of cooking or serving items you may have needed. The apartment was warm and cozy. The stairs as we were forwarned in the AIR B & B description were a challenge after a long day - we found that we would leave in the morning and then return once in the evening to minimize the "ups and downs so to speak." (I should mention that we are older and have a few health issues but were still able to manage.) Access to the Metro was just around the corner and the lovely cafe at the end of block, Le Flash, was a great place to have a wine or beer.
