The apartment was just as described and we really appreciated Valeria providing us with bottled water and some bites for breakfasts. However we did note that as we are non-smokers, we were quite aware of the smell of smoke, and that of the Valeria's huge dog (who strolled in to drink from our toilet on one occasion!).
Regarding location, there was disruption to some of the tram routes during our stay and we spent a long time waiting at tram stops or having to change trams to get into town.
