Our stay at Alexi's place was ideal. Close to public transportation, restaurants and grocery stores, our week-long stay was very comfortable. The apartment is spacious and was just the right size for two of us (but could easily accommodate a third). An elevator building with safe and easy access was a bonus. Like others have mentioned, there is a mildly unpleasant odor in the common areas of the building but this ends the moment you enter the apartment, which is bright, airy, clean and welcoming. Communication with Alexi was smooth and clear. He was very kind and allowed us to enter the apartment early, which was very helpful and greatly appreciated. We definitely recommend Alexi's place and plan on returning.
