Alex's was the best apartment out of 4 in our trip to Europe. As per the description, it is sunny and spacious and also very welcoming and homey. It is definitely someone's home and, as such, the kitchen is well-equipped and has a dishwasher. Another totally unexpected bonus was the washing machine! My husband didn't think that was so exciting but it was great to wash without having to sit at a laundromat. There is a daily market a few blocks down, a great deli on the corner, wonderful yogurt, cheese and panna cotta from the machine, good bread near the market... Although downtown is close enough to walk, there is a very convenient bus nearby and the bus to and from the train station stops only a corner or so away. Lastly, Alex is super nice and very welcoming! Thank you!
