I'm really sorry I have to write this negative reference but I didn't really like my stay at Alex's place.
THERE'S NO HEATING AT ALL both in the bathroom ( you're literally freezing while even brushing your teeth) and in the room itself. Then, the windows are badly insulated so the only place you can actually stay in is the bed and Alex (even if I let him know about the problem) can't do anything about it.
Plus you should know that Alex says NO to even drinking tea in the room so it has nothing to do with a kind and professional hosting especially that there's no heating anywhere.
Overall, bad experience.
