We chose Fanny's place because of the excellent reviews and its location -- close to the Metro and bus lines, and in the heart of a neighbourhood we wanted to experience. The coffee shops, bakeries, wine bars and restaurants are really good and inventive. There are good grocery stores in easy reach. In spite of the close proximity to the intersection of two very lively and busy streets, you would never guess that from the gentle quiet of Fanny's street, and the serenity of her apartment building. The apartment was very clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. It was exactly the right size and style for our purposes -- relaxation and rest at the end of a busy day. We'd love to come back.
