My best friend and I had a great stay at Alex's place. He's a kind, helpful, open minded, interesting (and interested) person. We had dinner and nice conversations together. Alex gave us a lot of tips on what to see, where they serve nice food and where to go out etc.
The house is beautifully decorated and very clean. It's decorated with care, objects he has collected from travelling and art, very cool and inspiring to see. It's in a lively neighbourhood and everything you need is nearby. It's a little out of the center (but with good access), it showed some of the more local life which I liked.
We felt very welcome and would definitely recommend. :)
