The communication with Alex leading up to arriving after leaving the train station was great, he greeted us in person even though he had to be somewhere and we were late, but when we arrived he showed us around, the place was clean, well-stocked - all that was needed was food and a desire of urban exploration!
The apartment was better than I had expected - it even had a freezer as well which is good for week-long stays - we had a great time and we can really credit the apartment and Alex's helpfulness!
