The apartment was charming, tastefully decorated, and spacious (for a large city). Alexis was responsive and timely in his communication. He also provided us with many great tips for eating and experiencing local delights. When he couldn't be there in person, he arranged for a family member to meet us and assist us. We became familiar with the neighborhood and enjoyed all it had to offer. Alexis's kitchen was great for cooking, because there were many spices and dishes available. There also was a lot of space in the closets and dressers to unpack our things and settle in. We loved every minute of our stay.
