I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Alex and his mother. The clean and comfortable room I stayed in was perfectly adequate for all of my needs. Alex was conscientious in providing safe and secure parking for my motorcycle in the locked area to the rear of the building in which we resided, and of course that was highly important to me. The warmth and friendliness of both Alex and his mother was evident from the moment we met each other. While Dayse, Alex's mom, and I did not speak a common language, she was as pleasant and caring and as gracious as I could possibly hope for. Without hesitation I highly recommend a homestay at Alex's place, especially if you have your own transport and are able to move about the city at your convenience.
