I stayed in Paolo's apartment for over a week. The place is close to a supermarket and restaurants, and of course Santa Croce square. The centre is easily reachable in 15 minutes or so by walk. The apartment was enough for my needs, had a vacuum cleaner and an iron which I didn't use. The entrance is independent which is great if you come and go at odd timings. There isn't much natural light in the apartment and the curtains are a bit thin so feel transparent during night, but I found a workaround for my own peace of mind. Surprisingly, the place is rather quiet. Paolo is very quick to respond and was easy to reach and react for any issues/check in check out. It was a smooth stay for me.
