The apartment was as advertised - spotless, well-equipped & comfortable. Alex was a great host. It's obvious he enjoys doing it, was quite flexible obout our leaving luggage past checkout time & gave us great advice about exactly the Ethiopian restaurant we were looking for (short on ambience, full of Ethiopians & long on flavor). The neighborhood was quite friendly as well. Several people, young & old, struck up conersations with us. We would be glad to stay here again.
