My name is Alexander, and I am a young sailor in the United States Navy. I enjoy traveling, surfing, and cool architecture. I love being a host because it gives me the opportunity to make a real impact in people’s lives. Housing can too often be unaffordable and burdened by uncertainty. My mission through hosting is to make sure that is not the case. I always try to offer affordable and fun housing, making your getaway as seamless and enjoyable as possible-because that is what you deserve and what I love to do!

Very Good Overall

After a small glitch to begin the stay, which the owner responded to quickly, it was a pleasant stay. The living area, kitchen and dining area are very nice. So is the front porch and the fire pit is also nice although we did not use it. The half bath on the first level was a nice plus. The stairs to the second floor bedrooms are a challenge for elderly

Home away from home.

The house was fully equipped with everything I needed for my 6 night stay. It was comfortable and cozy with plenty of space for remote working and relaxing in the living area. The location was great. Everything was nearby - Whole Foods, cute shops and restaurants. Also there is an easily accessible walking path. I will stay here again if I’m back in West Hartford and I would highly recommend it.

Nice place

The home itself is lovely, with an eclectic decorative flair that I really enjoyed. I believe it is on its way to being a 5-star place with some growth.- nice decor, downstairs bathroom, art- large, comfortable rooms, decent kitchen and dining table, good airflow, but very dusty- very loud work was being done on house, when I was assured before renting there wouldn't be, which meant scaring my dog and causing her to bark for 3 days, no use of driveway or directly in front of house, noise, no use of torn up backyard and fire fire pit sitting area- dishwasher was full of dirty dishes, including parts to coffee machine, items left in dryer- no toilet paper, soap between bathrooms- 1 wadded up potentially clean bath towel in a closet, had to use cleaning rag as washcloth, shower door continuously slid open entire shower - but love that Japanese print, Shampoo, etc. in shower not labeled- upstairs window was left wide open with no screen upon arrival late at night; some downstairs windows left unlocked and some appeared broken- instructions would be appreciated for light/fan remotes, garbage rules- we noticed what appeared to be a motion detector on upper shelf that clearly went off with movement when entering room - creepy.Owner attempted to be a good communicator, but it didn't make up for the problems
