We loved staying at Luping's lovely apartment. It was beautiful, roomy and VERY clean. We didn't meet Luping, but his wife was very sweet and helped us check in and store our luggage while she finished getting the apartment ready. The AC worked great, and the bed was very comfortable. It was also great having a washing machine and access to a parking space in the building's underground garage. The only draw-back was the rather long, hilly walk from the metro stop, but we got off at the stop near the park and walked through the park rather than up the hill. Wish we had asked Luping about restaurants near the apartment, as it is away from the city center action. We found a nice area around the corner with several restaurants on a small plaza on our last night, but we had already eaten. If you're ok not being in the heart of the action, you'll love this place. We did!
