A popular portion of downtown Washington, D.C., has its own Yelp page called “Dupont Circle Rat Sanctuary” and city visitors and residents alike are rating and discussing the area.

The location is so infested with rats that reviewers are facetiously expressing happiness about the sight of seeing so many rats in one area.

One reviewer even used the park and its wildlife display for a date night.

A fellow Yelp user has advice for the best time to see the vermin in their urban habitat.

Some use the forum to encourage visitors to reach out to the government to help clean up the park and get rid of the rats.

Reviewers are referring to the traffic circle and the park that rests in the middle. The circle is the nexus to several other parts of the city and is a popular spot for people to eat lunch, relax on a bench or now to apparently gaze at large rats. Dupont Circle is also the name of a neighborhood and a historic district.
