Our host Mark was wonderful- very attentive and informative! The house is fully stocked with amenities and beds are very comfortable. Lots of restaurants and things to do within walking distance and a quick drive or Uber to Old Town! Highly recommend!
We liked that it was well stocked with amenities. We enjoyed the outdoor patio. The beds and furnishings were comfortable. Meeting the proprietor was welcoming and also seeing him at the end of our stay.
The communication prior to arrival was prompt and accurate so check in was super smooth. The place was as pictured, clean and very well stocked. It was easy to get in and out of DC and walking from the metro took us right by Giant foods grocery store which was very convenient. The neighborhood itself was very pleasant with several great restaurants and shops and nicely kept properties
Our stay was an enjoyable event with a very gracious host. Even ordered us playing cards on the fly to accommodate our team building. I recommend the VRBO if you are visiting DC and surrounding area. Very walkable.
Perfect location for our visit to Arlington National Cemetery to celebrate the life of my father and lay him to rest in our great nation’s hallowed grounds.
Had three college friends come to visit. We had some things we wanted to do in Arlington, Alexandria and the National Harbor area. We also thought we might go into DC, but didn't end up doing so. This home was the perfect location for all that we wanted to do. The landlord is friendly and helpful. The property is safe and well appointed. We had a wonderful stay and we all were sad to leave. Major plus - There are quite a few great restaurants within walking distance.
5 bedrooms with big, comfortable beds is hard to find when we travel as a family. We not only got that but very comfortable, nicely furnished common areas and a well-equipped kitchen. This was a great choice for a wedding that brought 3 generations and multiple adult couples together. Mark has set up a great coffee bar and all the other things that you want when traveling, and he’s a good communicator numerous restaurants and stores in walking distance.
Was in town to work a large concert in area along w/ some of my staff. Perfect location, quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to some good eating spots
Cannot say enough good things about our stay. Everything was as pictured. The host was very communicative and helpful. Place was immaculately clean upon our arrival. Neighborhood was great with a safe, clean walk to the Potomac Yard metro station. Big thanks to Mark. Highly recommend!
Nice place. Clean, and the beds were very good. Parking was weird and very different. But we managed to get it done. I would recommend the house. 3 stories and a good location
Our family spent 5 days here when we came to bury my husband at ANC. It was conveniently located in a good neighborhood. The unit was very nicely equipped. The beds were soooo comfortable! We will definitely look for this property when we return to the area.
The property is well appointed, clean, in a good safe neighborhood and central location. It's just much smaller than it looks on line. The 2 full bathrooms are not modern but clean. Just 20 minutes from downtown DC. One of the bedrooms is extremely small and there is no bathroom on the main floor. Other than those minor things we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Mark our host was friendly, accessible and attentive.
Great family vacation. We walked to dinner in the neighborhood and walked the dogs to the park, and walked to the metro to take in the sites, museums, and even a caps game. Close to the airport and a huge shopping center. We recommend the District Biscuit company...very yummy and close by. The neighborhood is very dog friendly and theres a great park nearby for dmall children to play. The house is very quiet with plenty of room for the whole family.
I was visiting the Alexandria area for my best friends bachelorette and we could not have found a better place to stay. The location was perfect. The house was clean and spacious and Mark was so kind and generous and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to the DC area
