My friends and I stayed the night at this house so we could travel to DC during spring break. It is conveniently located by the Vienna Metro Station, and was clean and comfortable. The host had a fast response time and was very nice. We were worried at first about safety due how secluded the house was, but my group felt very safe. Would recommend and stay here again.

A group of friends stayed here for a trip to see a concert at Wolf Trap. It was nicely located to the venue, clean, and large enough for all of us. We spent quite a bit of time by their nice firepit area also which was a very nice accommodation to have! I would recommend this place to someone looking for a larger place to stay in this area.

This stay was not only PERFECT for our travels and visits but it was a next level experience.

It was clean, spacious, and had absolutely everything we needed and then some. It was a BEAUTIFUL property that allowed us to relax in our stay and enjoy the time.

Spring Break Vacation

This property provided the perfect respite as we left DC during Spring Break. The property was exactly as described; extremely spacious, clean, and with useful amenities. The beds were comfortable and we were pleasantly surprised at the comfort provided by the floor mattresses our children slept on. The linens were plentiful And the entire space had clear communication with placards that shared requests from the host. Would definitely book this location again if travelling in the area.

Overall, we had a good stay and there were definitely some highlights. The space was comfortable, and the projector with the large screen was a really nice touch that we especially enjoyed.That said, there were a couple of issues that impacted our experience. One of the bedrooms had a strong cigarette smoke odor, despite the no-smoking notices throughout the property. It seemed to be isolated to that room, which made it stand out even more. While we were able to adjust and use other sleeping arrangements, the smell was noticeable and could be a concern for guests with sensitivities or children.There was also some foot traffic noise from above, particularly late at night and early in the morning. Since this is a basement space, that wasn’t unexpected and isn’t something I would personally rate the stay down for, but it’s worth noting for light sleepers.Overall, aside from these issues, the stay was enjoyable. With a bit of attention to the odor concern, this could easily be a higher-rated experience.

One bedroom had no drawers for cloths so we had keep our cloths in our suitcase on the floor. In the second bedroom, the bed was pushed up next to the wall. The only way to get into bed on the one side was to climb in from the foot of the bed. The one bathroom did not have enough towel hooks or racks to accommodate 4 people. There were hairs in the shower from previous guests. The home was in a good location to get to the train station for Washington DC. Owners were helpful when we had questions.

Pros: Comfortable beds and plenty of extra linens. It was nice to watch the big screen tv but you can not screen mirror your streaming movies or shows. Cons: There were a few live bugs we had to take care of including Beatles and spider. The space is in the basement of a home that you can hear the family above which is disclosed in the description but it was louder than expected. You could hear a lot of walking, running, vacuuming, and crying late at night. We (my husband & 3 teenagers) ended up falling asleep around 11pm and you could still hear them actively moving around above even with fans on.
