I was unable to meet Alex due to our late arrival with traffic on NYE. However, Alex was able to provide a code and leave key for us to get in. Alex was very helpful with every email and text I sent. The home is certainly a mans home, however we enjoyed his decore and big tv to watch family stuff at night. The Star Wars clock in the living room cracked us up every time you turn the lights off. The space was accommodating for my husband, daughter and I. I however was not impressed with the cleanliness of it. There is definitely a black mold issue. I cleaned for 1.5 hours in kitchen, bedroom and bathroom before showering and going to bed. I We kept the windows cracked they whole time we were there. The rating is hard, not sure if I rate the host, home, or cleanliness.
