Azita was a wonderful host, she gave me a tour of the house, and then let me settle in. The ornate carpets and textiles, paintings and pottery, made coming home feel like a Mediterranean wonder in the middle of D.C. The room was a quiet hideaway from the hustle and bustle, a good size, and with climate control befitting for an east coast winter. When I had questions, her husband was available to help out, in fact he offered to drive me to the metro when I was running late. Staying in her home gave me the space I needed to get work done yet when the time was right to chat, I thoroughly enjoyed sharing travel stories. Next time I am in the city, I will book Azita’s place.
