We loved staying in Alex's home! He was very friendly and we loved meeting his dog, Gunner! The house was spotless, well-decorated, spacious, and comfortable. Alex was very easy to contact, sent a thorough list of recommendations to us before we arrived, and responded quickly to all text messages and phone calls. The only minor thing we wished was different was the lack of washer/dryer in the house - this was only an issue because we had just come from a long weekend of camping and had lots of dirty laundry :) The neighborhood is great and filled with lots of cafes, coffee shops, bakeries, and restaurants! A short drive will get you to more central areas of the city but the neighborhood has a lovely, quaint atmosphere that we loved.
