Alex's place is situated in a great spot. It was so easy to walk to the different areas we wanted to visit. It was also easy to get to the Metro when we needed to cover more distance. The apartment is spacious and allowed our group of 4 to have plenty of space to move around and relax. As other guests have noted, the bathroom with the shower didn't drain well, so we had to take showers in the other bathroom. The heater in one of the bedrooms (the one with its private bathroom) was stuck on 77F, even when we turned it off or tried to set it to "cool." It made sleeping at night uncomfortable. We communicated with Alex about the heater problem, and he said he would ask the building maintenance to look into it. The issue was unfortunately not resolved while we were there. If heating or shower drainage is important to you, I recommend verifying with Alex that these issues are resolved prior to making your reservation.
