Dina's penthouse is one that will definitely stand out in our minds. We felt very at home there. Well appointed with an artsy touch, it was clean and comfortable, with air conditioning (which we came to realize is rare and appreciated!!) a beautiful 'mud/entry' room and small patio for morning coffee or evening wine. It also has a wash machine, which was wonderful for those of us who pack light on a long trip. Dina welcomed us graciously with a bottle of wine, was warm in welcoming questions and making suggestions for tourism/restaurants. We also found a Lebanese restaurant downstairs (Tarbush) which had some of the best food we've ever had (and we eat a lot of ethnic food...everywhere!) It could be intimidating to some as the menu is entirely in Arabic, but don't be intimidated, the owner is very nice and accomodating. The only possible drawback to Dina's flat, for some, could be the 10 flights of stairs and lack of an elevator. For us, it was ok, because we had backpacks...but if you have lots of heavy bags/luggage, this could be a challenge. Metro/bus transit is appx 4 city blocks away and there is a small grocery one block up from unit. We had a wonderful time in this flat and would definitely return!
