Our stay at Alex & Carla's place was great. As everyone had already mentioned in 100+ reviews, the apartment was convenient, cozy, well decorated, quiet, clean, easy to reach, etc etc. Basically everything you can ask for from a home away from home. I will mention a few things others have not. 1) Laundry/Dryer works great and can be perfect if you're taking a longer trip. 2) Multiple umbrellas provided so you don't need to pack one. 3) Apartment can get nice and dark when all the shades are down - perfect to sleep in if needed. and 4) We visited during the holidays and they had some Christmas decor which was a nice touch and shows their attentiveness. They also were willing to recommend places because a lot of restaurants close over the holidays. Definitely a great host and apartment.
