Although we did not meet Alex during our stay, he was always available and responsive should anything arise. He provided detailed information to help us into our place before we arrived so there was no issue. The place was clean and minimalist as far as amenities and decor, but we didn't need much as we were sightseeing most of the time. The neighborhood looks like it might be going through a bit of a transition at the moment, so the buildings were a mix of new construction and some older places. We shared the place with two other AirBnB bedrooms, but only saw them for maybe 10 seconds total.
