Mark was easy to communicate with, the location was great - easy to walk into the heart of del ray, with lots to do, and easy to get to tourism stuff in DC as well. Dedicated parking was great. The property was so cute.

Girls weekend
Nice that it had 6 rooms with either queen or full size beds. Not always easy to find that for adult trips that don't want to have bunk beds. Good location. Host was very helpful and accessible. Older home, but good value.

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!

Beautiful Clean Home
My family was so pleased with this beautiful Alexandria home. The personal touches were perfect from the special coffees and teas to the gorgeous live plants throughout the house to the throw blankets on the sofa. There were so many little things that made it feel like home. Mark was so communicative and gracious. I look forward to staying again.

Excellent stay
The communication prior to arrival was prompt and accurate so check in was super smooth. The place was as pictured, clean and very well stocked. It was easy to get in and out of DC and walking from the metro took us right by Giant foods grocery store which was very convenient. The neighborhood itself was very pleasant with several great restaurants and shops and nicely kept properties

Perfect Location for a Girls Trip
Had three college friends come to visit. We had some things we wanted to do in Arlington, Alexandria and the National Harbor area. We also thought we might go into DC, but didn't end up doing so. This home was the perfect location for all that we wanted to do. The landlord is friendly and helpful. The property is safe and well appointed. We had a wonderful stay and we all were sad to leave. Major plus - There are quite a few great restaurants within walking distance.

Stress-free family “reunion”
5 bedrooms with big, comfortable beds is hard to find when we travel as a family. We not only got that but very comfortable, nicely furnished common areas and a well-equipped kitchen. This was a great choice for a wedding that brought 3 generations and multiple adult couples together. Mark has set up a great coffee bar and all the other things that you want when traveling, and he’s a good communicator numerous restaurants and stores in walking distance.
