Alex was a wonderful host! He stopped by on the first night and answered any questions we had about the apartment (how to turn up the heat, for example). He also gave us great recommendations in the neighborhood including a wonderful brunch spot and a nearby market that was perfect. He was available all weekend to answer any and all questions we had regarding bars, restaurants, nightlife, etc. The apartment was perfectly equipped and extremely cozy. Moreover, the neighborhood was ideal for shopping, drinking, dining, and just having a great all around time. All of the amenities one could want were within a short walk. We look forward to staying at Alex's place in the future.
