I've used it on a door, but I prefer to use it from an overhead mount. You do get a lot more freedom of movement that way. I would wonder about mounting it overhead in an apartment; you'd have to find the beams and also be relatively unafraid of damaging any ceiling materials during the mounting process. Is there a park or a playground nearby where you might take it?

A good mount is the key to successful use of these trainers. I used my front door (which is the heaviest door in my house) and ended up having to replace the hinges and the tongue mechanism that goes into the wall. I used the thing every day and the it was too much for the door to support. Be really careful about using a door unless you have really heavy doors with big hinges and door mechanisms in good condition.
