We enjoyed our stay in Alex's place. The apartment is lovely- it is exactly what you see in the photos. Three of us stayed and it was very comfortable. It was really clean and they were very accommodating in allowing us to leave our luggage there the first morning when we arrived early before check-in. We didn't meet Alex but his daughter met us and she was nice and showed us around. Alex was always contactable by email and responded quickly. We liked the neighbourhood, it's quiet and not too far from the center of things. We found some very good restaurants in the area if you don't want to go far.

The only issue for us was that there was construction work going on in the apartment next door on the day we arrived. The hammering and drilling was very loud against the dividing wall (it seemed as if there was no sound proofing at all). It went on late into the evening so there was no siesta that day :-( Alex was responsive to my inquiries about this issue and told me that unfortunately it was out of his control which I totally understand. We were lucky it was only that one day that it was so noisy but for anyone planning on spending any time in the apartment during the daytime you may need to check with Alex about the status of building work and whether it's ongoing.
