Alex was great with communication, giving me a whatsapp number to reach him at when I booked. When I was about to arrive, he messaged with directions and met me at the apartment. Check-in was smooth and Alex was thorough in explaining house rules, amenities, keys/locks, and showing me a map of the city. He was also at the apartment daily and would always ask what my plans were for the day and offer suggestions, which were great! Checkout was smooth as well and I was able to leave bags in the common area until my bus later in the afternoon and I was let back into the apartment by Alex, who was still there making sure everything was clean and ready for the next travelers!
The apartment is very cute! Lots of plants and ecclectic decor. I stayed in the single room and it was perfect - lots of natural light, a desk, comfortable bed, and dresser. The apartment is impeccably clean, thanks to Alex who ensures it stays that way. The kitchen, dining area, and bathroom are shared between 3 rooms - 2 doubles and a single. So, location for me was central to everything I wanted to see - the beach, old city, and Turia gardens. I walked everywhere and aside from the beach was where I wanted to go in 20-30 minutes. Note that the apartment is NOT in the old city. It is very close to the cool Rusafa area, which has a lot of eateries and some grocery stores. Overall, it is a quiet neighborhood and safe to walk to/from at night with your usual precautions.

Thanks, Alex, for a great stay at your place. I had a wonderful base to come back to after each full day of exploring!
