We stayed in the apartment for six months in 2014 during a semester at the university. The apartment was fully equipped for such a long stay, and we didn't miss a thing. It's large and has 4 balconies.
The bedroom faces a quiet courtyard and the main balcony face a smaller courtyard - and it's completely private with views only to the red roofs. The living room is large - but we didn't use it much. Life is lived in the kitchen, on the balcony - or better out in the city. The bathroom was large and clean with a bath tub. The kitchen was well equipped and had a dining table. (One lack for a stay of the duration such as ours was some sort of espresso maker - but the nearest café is not far away).
In a tourist perspective the apartment is within walking distance to the city centre in a quiet neighbourhood. A perfect base!
The apartment is on the top floor so expect a lot of stairs. Piera, Irenes mother, lives in the building as mentioned in many reviews, and she was of great help with all our troubles - a few are bound to arise during six months. We also met with the pair living in the other top floor apartment - they were a quiet couple but very nice people that invited us in, when we had a problem with a broken key. All in all our perception of the building and it's inhabitants was positive.
