Alex place is lovely. It is as shown in the photos. When we arrived at the apartment there was a bottle of wine for us. The supermarket is very near. The stairs a little difficult to navigate with big suitcases but it was just one time up and one time to go down. A little far from the center but very easy to ride the tram. Also lots of little restaurant nearby. There is a great chocolate/macaroons place that has wonderful croissant. We bought bread there every afternoon. It is very easy to get out of the city also as its near the highway. Everything you need is there. We even had great coffee with Alex's coffee machine. What a delightful stay. We didn't get to meet Alex as our train was delayed but Alex arranged for us to get the keys from his friend who is very helpful also. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.
