We've stayed in a few Airbnb places over the years and, indeed, hosted ourselves, but this place and host are in a different league. Firstly, the apartments are immaculately clean and functional. The beds are comfortable and the facilities first class. Everything is taken care of to ensure a perfect, hassle-free stay, from check in to leaving. The location is ideal in a quiet, up-market neighbourhood but with bars, restaurants and all the famous historical sites within easy striking distance. We walked everywhere.
Communication was prompt and clear. I was organising a surprise for my wife's "big" birthday with friends secretly joining us from the UK. Alexander obviously had to be in on the surprise, and he played his part to perfection. Lisa never suspected a thing. His excellent language and organisational skills made him an ideal accomplice! But more than that, he's a genuinely nice guy for whom nothing was too much trouble.
We were able to store our luggage after checkout and Alexander had been kind enough to organise transfers to the airport for our return flights.
I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's the best.
