Alex is a fantastic host! One of the best we've ever been hosted by in AirBnB, he's responsive, kind, and committed to make your stay as comfortable as he possibly can.
The place is great to work from home, two great working stations, it's comfortable (great couch and bed) and has everything you could need for a short or extended stay.
There are though, a couple of downsides that didn't make it a 5-star experience but some of them are really hard to change so not a whole lot that Alex can do:
1. Carpet cleanliness: could improve or even been replaced.
2. Train tracks pass by pretty close and is train is LOUD multiple times a day, no kidding.
3. The place is a basement, so very little light. For a short stay is fine but for a long stay (we stayed for 2 months), especially in winter, we ended up missing the light a lot.
4. A few homeless camps nearby.
We recommend Alex as a host but the place has a few considerations that, for some people might be worth taking into account.
