I honestly cannot think of a single bad thing to say about Maggie‘s home. I am a clean freak, and it was super squeaky clean! The house was stocked everything you could think of, especially in the kitchen! You cannot beat the location, either. Just a block or so away from all of the cute cafés, shops, and restaurants. My husband also loved how close it was to the metro station. We will be sure to come back and stay at Maggie‘s home again the next time my son gets weekend liberty time from the Naval Academy!

We had a wonderful stay. It is a great location for hopping on the metro to DC and exploring Alexandria. The property was clean and well decorated, neighbors were friendly, and the amenities were very nice. Communicating with the host was easy and she was responsive during our stay. The downstairs shower was 6ft tall exactly and drained slowly but there was a second bath upstairs which was better for my tall husband. Both had good hot water and pressure. We enjoyed the record player and games too!

Close to everything yet quiet.
Absolutely delightful stay. We were easily able to get settled in. There was everything we needed to cook and clean. A wonderful little back yard to relax in. Quick access to all of Kings St. and bus/train/bike transportation. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Parking explanation was not adequate:
—license plate information was requested
— told form would be in VRBO
— no form or instructions
— I repeatedly requested details—-
Where specifically do I park
What goes in or on car
Where do I find form.
— was finally told sheet would be delivered
—- sheet to put in car was delivered 24 hours after arrival

Perfect location!
Great location for anyone looking to explore DC and Alexandria. We loved the proximity to the King Street Metro (5 min walk) and King Street shops/restaurants (10min walk). The area is safe. The property was clean and provided all the amenities we needed (sheets, towels, kitchen appliances) The parking was street parking but we were able to consistently find a spot right in front of the property. We enjoyed the backyard patio. The property owner was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to all messages. Would definitely stay again!

Great location
We had a good stay. The metro was in easy walking distance, which was perfect. The house was very clean and in good condition. Only thing to note is parking is street parking but is free.

Great spot in Alexandria
Maggie made access to this property easy and was in regular communication to make sure I had what I needed. I didn’t need much! The home was clean, comfortable, and very welcoming. Proximity to the metro and amenities made this the perfect home base for my work travels! I hope to be back again on a future trip.
