Alexandre's place was great. I stayed there with my girlfriend for the better part of a week. The apartment is in a cool old building in a fantastic location. Alexandre was prompt in replying to communications and provided us with helpful information about local restaurants and getting around the city. The place is similar to a Manhattan apartment in size but is nice and there is adequate space for a couple. Overall given the price of similar places I looked at, I thought it was a really good value. One thing I saw in reviews of other places was complaints about the lack of heat on cold days. This was not an issue at Alexandre's place. It was warm and cozy every night when we got in.
