We stayed in Valentina's flat for five nights on a visit to the World's Fair. Valentina was full of great information about the neighborhood. Grocery stores, two of them of which were close by. Directly downstairs is a terrific coffee and pastry shop. We loved the cross breezes in the apartment but would not recommend this flat. The double bed bunk bed that had been newly installed required one of us to crawl over the other in the middle of the night to use the restroom. The television was broken and not working. We couldn't shower without flooding the bathroom. And there was no where to sit comfortable other than the bed and hard wood chairs in the kitchen. The apartment does have a very good location from which to access Expo.
