We arrived around 8PM. Olena was extremely welcoming, showed us around the space, had towels and toiletries in the room. The wifi SSID and password were in plain view as well as maps of the city, bus routes, and metro routes. She made finding our way through the city very easy. On our last night, we wanted to hang out outside on her porch with a bottle of wine, and when we arrived, she had wine glasses waiting for us, and made sure the porch space was clean and inviting. Our departing flight was at 7PM, and she allowed us to keep our bags at her home well past the checkout time. When we came to pick up our bags, there was a thank you note from Olena attached to one of the bags. I know these seem like little things, but they meant the world to us. We never felt un-welcomed or unsafe. In fact, we told her we were thinking about moving to the DC area because the area she's in (Georgetown) was so beautiful, and well kept. If we don't move there into her neighborhood, :) we will definitely stay at Olena's again.
