We stayed at Alex's place for 17 nights and we were very satisfied with our time here.
He is a very very hospitable and friendly host, always willing to help. He might not be there all the time, but either he'll leave instructions or find someone who can help.
The house facilities were also really nice, pretty much everything you'll need. Its location was exceptionally convenient as there were bus and train station (which helped us travelling around the city at ease) and supermarkets and restaurants and a nice field too.
Overall, highly recommend!
