Alex's place is in a fantastic location, so easy to get anywhere in the city by foot or metro. He and his girlfriend are very friendly and helpful, and the bedroom and bathroom are clean and comfortable. The only thing I'd note for other travelers is that they have a baby as well as a dog, so the common rooms are filled with baby items - it's really not a living area you will be able to spend time in. But if all you want is a bedroom and bathroom, and access to a small kitchen, this is a great option.
