I specifically chose the apartment because the host allows pets and it is near a great dog park. It also happens to be in a perfect location for some of the things we wanted to see on our trip. The Metro stop is very convenient. We love Ethiopian/Etritrean food and there are quite a few options in the neighborhood (as well as more upscale offerings). The apartment is cheerful, sunny and clean in a lovely fin-de-siecle building, with a small terrace that overlooks the park. There is no private bedroom, but we knew that (we were a couple travelling with a friend). Elena couldn't have been nicer. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!
