Overall our stay was good, however, we did experience a negative incident at the end of our stay so I'm not sure I would recommend this place for the hassle of having to deal with that. In general, Alex's place was very spacious and comfortable. We booked for a 3 week stay while we were working and it's perfect for that. The internet is a little spotty in certain areas of the living room, but is generally fine. The apartment is as pictured and it had lots of light in both the living areas and bedrooms which I really appreciated. (But if you're a light sleeper, bring eye masks). The mattresses are also very firm, so depending on your preferences that might be a good or bad thing. There isn't really any temperature control in the apartment and the windows don't really open so that might be problematic in the warmer months. The apartment is relatively private which is nice, being on the third floor of three story building. The area surrounding the apartment is not exactly unsafe, but it's not exactly safe either (especially around the nearest subway station or at night), but it's generally fine.
The main issue we ran into with our stay happened at check out unfortunately. We left in somewhat of a hurry and there were a few things we didn't get a chance to do prior to leaving (for example, we didn't get a chance to take out the trash and there was a dish and a few cups left in the sink). After we checked out, we received several texts to my personal number from the host in an incredibly nasty and confrontational tone threatening additional cleaning fees. We definitely disagreed with any additional cleaning fees considering we left the apartment in good shape and the hefty cleaning fee we were already paying for, but our main issue was that we thought this communication could have been handled in much more professional way and in a much more professional tone. My friend and I have both stayed at countless AirBnBs and we have never experienced anything like this from a host, especially over a few minor things, and so we were both shocked by this and it definitely soured the whole experience for us.
