“What a great property” is exactly what I thought when I arrived at this home. Everything what is exactly has described on the site. There was more than enough space for my family and we didn’t feel like were sleeping on top of each other. There were plenty on dishes for cooking and very clean. My and I truly enjoyed our stay. Definitely book if you will be in the VA area.

Graduation weekend
We were in town for my daughter's graduation from Old Dominion. The neighborhood was great, but for us, just a little too far from our daughter's apartment.
