Alex's apartment was very comfortable for our stay. The living area, with its large couch, had plenty of seating and space to relax and watch some TV after a day in the city. Noise levels were pretty quiet for being right in the city. It would have been nice to have a bit more space to unpack clothes so we didn't have to live out of suitcases, but that just comes with traveling, so it wasn't a huge issue. Also, we appreciated being able to play the keyboard during the stay, as that is something we miss when away from home.
All in all, Alex was a great host and a very nice person.
Internet speed and coverage was above average. Definitely fast enough for remote work and streaming video.
