The apartment is very strategically located. While it is not super-close to public transportation, it is an excellent option for walking and sight-seeing. Be careful if you are taking metro and have lot of luggage coming into the place because it is uphill from the metro station.
The place was clean but I wish there were some toiletries in the bathroom (I had to buy my own) and some more basics in the kitchen such as salt and oil (there were some left-overs). The stairs are very steep going up. There is no inter-phone or a way to open the building door without having a key which presented a fire/earthquake concern to me. Washing machine was very handy.

All in all, I was satisfied. It is very practical and convenient place.
