I realise i wrote my own things instead of responding to your. Addis is a small city. Be sure you can find your way around. As you decide on where to live, you can be staying at ALERT guest houses -- you will pay about 27 dollars a day and get super service. Good food and clan house/hostel. And what are you going to do in Addis? Where are you from?
