Olena's place made for a comfortable and welcoming stay. We both live in the same neighborhood and she was able to host me as I was getting repairs done on my place. This is one of the best areas in D.C. and ample restaurants/stores within walking distance. Olena's gracious smile and fast phone calls to procure the stay made me feel at ease. She even cooked premium food for me and am glad that I have a new friend, now! Awesome decorations in the house and the basement room is the comfiest and coldest room in the residence. Nice bathroom and ample downstairs room to lay your belongings out in. Comfortable bed and a good nights rest indeed! Long live Mother Russia :)
