Tatjana's place was just a cute as the photos, very convenient to everything just as described. I was worried about walking around with a 7 year old, but her place was so close, convenient and safe we had no problem walking everywhere whether it was to Walmart/Safeway groceries or 4 blocks to Union Station. There are plenty of restaurants of all cultures around. There was no trouble hailing a taxi, rail and bus stops are very close by. I knew nothing of public transit but its very easy to figure it out on your phone and all the people are very courteous about giving directions, I didn't get to meet her but we had an entirely positive experience with Tatjana and DC and have every intentions of planning to stay with her again!
