Alex was a gracious and helpful host, helping us with matters not directly related to our stay. the house is clean and eclecticly designed even if a little dark
.
couple of things to consider - as other people have mentioned, the location is in a hilly neighborhood and Alex's place is up 5 flights of stairs with no elevator.
the house is long and narrow so people walk past rooms all the time, and combining that fact with wooden floors and doors that don't close well - we found there's quite a lot of noise in the house.
last thing is that the double bed is a couple of single mattresses put together, which we found a little uncomfortable.
Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay and will be back again!
