Alec's place was great. Closer to fun shops and restaurants. Check out Primos. Walking distance and great coffee. It's on a major street so traffic noise in constant. If you are from a major city, you shouldn't notice it too much; But nothing earplugs can't handle.
Lots of natural light, beds are on the firm side, but linens were very soft.
Alec had great communication before and during our stay. Check in and out was super easy.
