Alex is a wonderful host! The home is beautifully appointed. The back yard is nice and private. Just know in the cooler months that the pool is not heated, so we couldn't enjoy the pool while we were here in March. The home was spacious and updated. Having the washer and dryer was very convenient. Just an FYI though, one of the five listed bedrooms is actually more like a family room with a pull - out couch. It does have a wardrobe in the room, but guests have to walk through that room to access the back yard and pool. Also, the bedroom with the two double beds only has a dresser, no closet. Otherwise, everything was as listed. Alex was very quick too respond to any requests or questions we had - very hospitable. I would definitely stay in one of his homes again.
