The location is so great - even better than expected. It is a 5-minute walk from the Rosso metro station. It is right next to the back entrance of the Rosso railway station. You can get from the apartment to sitting on a train in 5 minutes. I did not have a problem with all the stairs to get up to the street where the apartment is located, and to get up into the apartment, but I can see how that could be difficult for some people. There were very very loud concerts (rock, heavy metal) outside the apartment on Friday and Saturday night going until 1 AM. If you are a light sleeper, this is probably going to be an issue for you. Pictures are very accurate. Apartment was very charming - the balcony to get fresh air was great. Shower water pressure and temperature was great. I couldn't get the volume on the TV to work and the apartment did not have a corkscrew.
