Great stay at Alex's place. He was welcoming and always quick to reply to my messages. Loved his recommendations for bars and restaurants in the neighborhood. We didn't see each other much during my week-long visit, but I felt comfortable reaching out if needed. The location was fantastic: easy to walk, with many great bars and restaurants nearby. Limited street sound from the room, maybe a bit more on weekends. The room is spacious with big, bright windows and curtains to keep it dark at night. The bed is comfortable (I'd say medium-firm). Would stay again!
