Alex is a wonderful host! He's warm, generous and unobtrusive and I'm really glad to have found him. During my week long stay he went to any and all means to make me feel at home. He offered more than enough help getting me to his residence, carried my bags up 5 flights, provided breakfast & a very private, self contained room with big arched windows overlooking the park. It was essentially a self contained studio with a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Beyond that he shared good conversation, fresh oysters and wine (!!!) and also rescued 3 tiny kittens from the park. He also bought a fan for the room during my stay because the weather warmed up, and helped me get a cab to the airport at 6am. Whatta guy!! You've struck it Lucky to have found Alex's listing so go ahead and book this little haven.
