We stayed at Luca's place with our 16-month old daughter. So we were clearly very picky about everything.
The apartment is located in an old "casa di ringhiera" with an almost brand new elevator. While the building is old the apartment has been refurbished and is relatively modern-looking. The area is well connected with a tram that goes directly to the city center, and shops and food places at walking distance.
As I said above, the apartment is nicely refurbished, but it would still need a few little improvements. The refurbishment starts being a bit old: broken floor tile in the bathroom, skirting board not adhering to floor. Windows are single glazed and the frame is quite old, so it lets light and noise come in. This was mainly a problem at night with the tramway running till late. Walls are thin so you can easily hear neighbors even if they are quiet.
