This is a great location- easy access to the metro and the sites and in a fun, friendly neighborhood. Rachel is kind and generous with her hospitality and was always willing to help with recommendations, even drawing us walking tour maps through the less known, more local, streets. The room is private and comfortable, breakfast is prepared every morning and shared with Rachel in her home- over coffee and chats about our plans- we found this very helpful. She went over and above cooking us dinner on night one and doing our washing. 5 flights of stairs maybe a challenge for some and initial access needs to be arranged as it is a gated apartment.
