Alex was an absolutely fantastic host. He contacted us a few days before our arrival to suggest packing warm clothing for the impending arctic freeze that occurred during our stay over New Year's weekend. On the day of our arrival he allowed us to check in early and we were greeted by a festively decorated apartment - strings of lights everywhere and a very nice bottle of sparking rose with two champagne flutes awaited us on the counter. Amenities abound, Alex truly does go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need during your stay. Upon opening the fridge I was shocked to find over a dozen different kind of drinks as well as an entire chicken in the freezer! He truly wants you to feel warm and welcomed upon entering his home. Job well done, Alex!
