My husband and I, stayed on the Alexi's basement for a month. We had a great moments there.
The basement is very well equipped, you have everything that you need.
It have an bus stop almost in front of the Alexi's house also, just in a square you will find another bus line or you can walk until the subway station in 7 minutes.
Alexis is very friendly. He was very helpful and he was always ready to support us when we needed.
