Alex is a MOST responsive host! Throughout the process of our choosing his home and our stay, he replied to us right away and was responded proactively to our needs and requests when possible which was much appreciated. The quality of the appliances and the kitchen equipment made it a pleasure to use the kitchen, which we did a lot! His style of having a "pantry" for guests with spices made it possible to make a fancy French toast one morning and an aloo gobi for a dinner without having to buy most of the spices! And, that generosity led us to replenishing a few things, too. We had fun with the cornhole game outside. We were totally satisfied with our stay.
