I very much enjoyed my stay at Farida's getaway! My son was visiting AU for the weekend and I needed a place nearby to stay. I was not excited about staying in a hotel. I feel fortunate to have found the perfect place on Airbnb. Farida's place was very quiet and secluded - you do not feel like you are in large city at all. The neighborhood is very residential, yet accessible to all of the city. Easy walk from the metro - even an easy and safe walk to downtown DC. Her place was sparkling clean and larger than expected. Beautiful views of her cozy backyard garden. It was great to have morning coffee and a small snack available upon waking. Anytime I felt I needed something, it was right there at my fingertips. A perfect hostess. I would recommend Farida's place to anyone traveling to DC.
