Alexei’s place is in a convenient location and the apartment was as described (clean, convenient to beach etc). Alexei was also responsive, and overall I would recommend the apartment. The only caveat is that parking was a big hassle on arrival. The parking garages in the building are very small (ie most spaces are reserved so there are roughly ten spaces on each side). Both garages were full when we arrived. We then drove to the backup garage that Alexei recommended but that was also full. We ended up driving around the blocks in a circle and eventually found a place on the street. If you are renting a car after a long flight, I recommend having multiple backup parking options. Once we became familiar with the city, we discovered there is free street parking in residential neighborhoods about 8-9 blocks away; however, I really recommend figuring out definitive parking before you arrive to avoid spending a lot of time driving around trying to figure out parking the first night when you might be really tired.
