Alex and his family were incredible hosts. They were accommodating and extremely helpful with ideas and tips and anything you needed. My flight was delayed 4 hours and the cab dropped me off at the wrong address but Alex still stayed up to make sure I got in to the apartment safely and knew where everything was.
Most of the time the apartment is quite quiet and being separated from the main area helps make it feel more private as well. The few times I saw them their dog was friendly and curious. Just to note they do occasionally smoke however it is always kept to the kitchen with the sore to the apartment closed and near the window so it easily ventilates. It was never an issue for me.
The location is great - near some major bus stops and metro lines as well as a great park.
A great place for a solo traveler looking for a place to rest easy!
