Property is perfectly located for walking in Crystal City. Beds were very comfortable and linens were clean. Quiet, walkable neighborhood. Communication was excellent and they were ok with me arriving a bit early. Check in and check out were as easy as can be imagined. The only drawbacks for us was that the furniture in the living room was not comfortable at all. There’s a sofa and two children’s chairs in a five bedroom home. Also the iron had seen better days. Kitchen was well apportioned.

Faisal was a great at communicating and check in was easy. We loved the location which was just an easy 15 minute walk from the Metro and the neighborhood which was safe. The kids enjoyed the beautiful playground across the street. The pictures were mostly accurate though a TV was missing in the bedroom with the mini fridge. The kitchen was spacious and as a family of nine there was plenty of room for all of us. Some tips for improvement would be extra cutlery in the kitchen as it only had five forks. Additionally, there was no sheet between the fitted sheet and comforter. There was only one smoke detector that I saw on the entire three floors and none on the floor with the kitchen. The patio was nice but I wish there were cushions on the furniture as it was unusable. There was also trash on the front porch and some clutter throughout the house. When we arrived and turned on the TV we were trying to figure out how to get it working and saw the previous guests didn't clear out the internet tab which had porn clips on. This should've been cleared out before new guests arrived (especially considering we had children with us).Also, while the pictures were accurate the furniture was not enough for a five bedroom house. There were only six dining chairs and a couch that could fit three people. So we couldn't watch a movie or play games altogether.

All over good stay, just a few things to improve on. Some outlets didn’t work, mainly in kitchen…not a deal breaker, no paper towels, no dish rags, only 3 coffee pods, no coffee or filters for regular pot, we stayed 5 days, 7 people and were on our last roll of towel paper, just one towel and one wash rag per guest, no Klenexes in the whole house. Just be ready to go to the store when u get there and cvs is the closest . No game or cards, bring your own. No maps or information on what is close and good. I give La Bettina Italiano a 5star is was a great place to eat and Bob and Edith’s Diner a 5Star for breakfast, both places couple blocks away. Also the church next to house kept our bags for the day, we gave them a nice donation. Because we had to be checked out by 11 and our flight was at 5:50pm
