Alex's place is quiet, peaceful, and clean. We felt compelled to keep it that way (especially since we were seeking some peace and quiet). Alex keeps his home impeccably clean and that was a good discipline for us to match his standard for cleanliness. We cooked practically every day and had a soak in the heated pool each day. It was a working holiday for one of us, so there were times when we had to break the relative peaceful silence to speak with clients (I'm loud). Alex was always pleasant, interested, and accommodating.
