Host was welcoming Clean linens and home, the kitchen could have had a few things more for cooking ie cutting board, larger frying pan, possibly an extra mixing bowl or two. Other than that my 4 sisters and I enjoyed our stay, close to airport and a few other destinations like Arlington National Cemetary.

Really enjoyed the house for our stay! Everything was comfortable and easy. We visited for a Veterans group reunion. The location was perfect for access to sights, shopping, etc. Morning coffee was a highlight in the kitchen and main floor for socializing. Felt bad that our excitement caused some noise issues. Future guests should know ahead of time that noise levels are checked. Kudos to the host, Mark!

This was a staycation for my friend’s 50th birthday celebration. I informed the host prior to staying it would be a 50th birthday celebration get together. The house accommodated us well but we wished it had a few more mirrors (we are all ladies and like to see how we looked and to do makeup). It was in a nice area and very close to DC. The host provided coffee and various teas. The kitchen had everything we needed except a blender. We enjoyed our stay except when we received two warnings that we were being too loud during non-quiet hours (by an in home system). There was 8 of us talking and hanging out in the living area (at the dinning table) while our chief was cooking for the get together when we received our first warning. We received our second warning when we were singing happy birthday. We were not playing loud music or yelling. My only complaint is that we received those two warnings during non-quiet hours. We felt like we could not talk as a group in the living area which was a bit upsetting and a shame since we really like the house. Overall, the host was extremely communicative, the house was well kept (clean), nice area (near a park for kids) and the neighbors were really nice. Maybe better suited for a family getaway.

Short stay in Alexandria

I think the location of this property and the size are great especially for the cost! Mark was great at communicating with us and reached out several times. However I think cleanliness is a slight issue. The bathroom did not appear to be cleaned. The bathroom trash was full, the toilet seat was a bit dirty and the shower curtain needed to be washed as well. There was also hair on the pillows and sheets of one of the main bedrooms. We still were able to enjoy our stay under these circumstances but it could use improvement!

Sister's Get Away

We had 6 sisters staying for the weekend and everything was great. Each of us had our own bedroom but two people can easily stay in each room. Beds were comfy. I would suggest bringing slippers if you need to wear shoes because there is a no shoe rule in the house. Very pretty walkable neighborhood. We would definitely stay there again.

Very Clean and Convenient location

The home was very clean and comfortable. The coffee bar was great! Groceries, restaurants and the Metro train all within a 20 min walk! And the owner was very available to us via text. We loved our visit! We would have appreciated a heads up to the no shoe rule more than 24 hours in advance as we drove and were already on the road, so we didn't have the opportunity to pack slippers. Also, the neighbors will call you out if the TV is too loud at 10:01pm, so be prepared. Other than those minor inconveniences we really enjoyed ourselves!
