The location is really close to Metro station. You come out of the station, you walk to the apartment in less than 2 minutes. There are small supermarkets nearby, one across the street and one that has fresh fruits about 5 minutes walk. The building has an elevator, so even though it is on the 5th floor (not included the B floor and the P floor), we didn't have to climb all the stairs. One tiny problem that we had was that when we had our first shower, the water was cold before we finished the shower. So no long shower and leave enough time before the next person take a shower. There is a fan heater and a hair dryer available.
