Alex was very responsive and the photos of his place are accurate. The beach is about a 10 min walk away and the clubs are about 25 min walk away. There is a grocery store nearby and a bunch of other shops. It's also close to the diagonal road, which runs right through the city. The place also has double doors which provide additional security, so you can feel at ease leaving your stuff behind. The only problem I found was tha there wasn't any detergent, dish soap, or garbage bags, so it was hard to clean. In the end, we had to buy most of the stuff ourselves. We were rushed on our last day, so it was hard for us to do a thorough clean. Overall I would recommend Alex's place.
