The apartment is located very close to the train station, less than a 5 minute walk. It is very clean and cozy, with a nice bathroom and kitchenette. Giovanni's mother is warm and welcoming, and even though she does not speak English and we do not speak Italian, she was very accommodating. There was quite a bit of street noise, so if you're a light sleeper, this may bother you.
We had some trouble getting in to the apartment when we first arrived, and couldn't get a hold of Giovanni. We waited a couple hours and didn't hear from him, but luckily his mother was there when we returned to the apartment.

Overall, great value for money and a convenient location.
