Alex's apartment was great. Clean, good location, comfortable for my adult son and me. It was located up several long flights of stairs. So keep that in mind if you have heavy luggage. There was a problem within our first hour of arriving with an electrical short that produced sparks and ruined my adapter but Alex quickly gave me one which was good because I did not have another and the short broke mine. All of the outlets where the short was did not work for the other days and neither did the lamp. He said he would take care of it once we left which was fine because there were other working outlets to use and we were in the apartment just to shower and sleep. There is major construction in the courtyard which started with drills and banging every day at 7:30am. That was very bad but not Alex's fault. However, if we had been told about the construction, we would have stayed elsewhere since coming back at 2am and then being awakened at 7:30am was very bad. He apologized but again I know this was not his fault. Check to see if they have completed construction before you book! Alex was a great host and even left us a bottle of wine to welcome us. I was very happy to have a washer/dryer in the apartment and he left us laundry soap, too. Despite the electrical issues and construction, we still enjoyed the stay.
