Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Addis Ababa

Martina's place is in the foothills of Yeka, a sub-city in the northeastern portion of Addis. It is a two-minute walk from Menelik II hospital and within walking distance of a relatively expensive Italian restaurant and a nice coffee shop/bakery (Koba Patisserie). The Airbnb/house itself is in a compound shared with a local family with two (very quiet) children. It has plenty of green and grassy areas, which is a huge privilege in Addis. Two cats and three friendly dogs share the space and are very protective of all the residents (and visitors!). The place was clean, had everything I needed (including snacks/breakfast from Martina), and entirely as advertised. I would recommend relying on mobile hotspot for internet, although even that can be spotty.

Just perfect. The place was perfect. Very central. And the most : Michael is the perfect host. He helpt us so much during our stay, we really enjoyed the time with him. He is very kind and interesting ! We recommand

I had a nice stay at Alemayehu and Tade`s house. The house and garden is as showed on the photos. The water for the shower is hot. The accommodation is clean and outside of the center of Addis, thru this the air is cleaner and there is always a nice breeze. The neighbourhood is safe and just a 5min walk away there is a good bakery. To the center you can take a ride (Uber here) or Mini bus. Alemayehu and Tade are supporting you if you have any question. Alemayehu picked me up and dropped me off at the airport for a small fee. Tade is a passionate cook and baker.

I travelled to Addis in late January of 2016, from Los Angeles, California. I was in Addis to attend the US-Africa Business Summit being held at the United Nations Conference Center several miles from the property. I really didn't want to stay in a traditional hotel property bc I wanted to experience Ethiopians from the ground up, neighborhood and all. I am glad I located this property, which is located in a quite, gated, pleasant, and safe neighborhood. If you haven't been to Addis lately, you'd be pleasantly surprised to learn that the city has a modern and new light rail. I believe this is the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. The rail line is a walking distance from the property and I was glad the rail line ran by the UN bc you save a ton of money using the rail service (taxi fares in Addis can be unreasonable) if you don't mind being crammed inside the train. I wonder what the people used or how they got around before the trains started running. It's a great infrastructural addition to a lovely and burgeoning city. I particularly loved having Meti, the woman taking care of he property, around to make the stay quite comfortable. Not only is she a great cook, she'll even spoil you by doing your laundry (without being asked!). Although we couldn't communicate (she speaks primarily Ahmaric and Arabic) it all added to the entire excitement of the trip bc we were forced to "talk" to one another with various gestures. She exudes what Ethiopians are known for: gentleness, warmth, and grace. My stay in Addis was comfortable overall and I look forward to returning to Addis on a more slow-paced and relaxed schedule; and I would most likely stay at Mola's property.

I enjoyed myself at Hami's place. Hami is communicative and very helpful. I did not have phone service and Hami was kind enough to call Uber for me and to receiver calls from Uber drivers so that I could get back to her residence easily.
