Alex's place was great! My husband, my toddler and I stayed for three nights and we were very comfortable. His apartment is very convenient, even though it is on a hill, we got good exercise pushing the baby up and down the hill! The train station was a 5 minute walk, and the metro was very easy to use. Our second day there, we managed to walk from the apartment all the way down to the beach with a toddler, so it is possible.
Alex had water and juice in the fridge for us, and the kitchen was perfect to cook in with all the necessary utensils. The bathroom had soap, shampoo and a hair dryer in there, and Alex attended to our needs in a timely manner. He even set up a baby bed for our daughter!
He was very nice and helpful, and he kept in good contact before we arrived. He also gave us really good advice and tips on where to eat and go sightseeing. He is very knowledgeable about the city, and was a very good host!
