Great stay in Del Ray

This was a very nice place for a 5 day trip to see family. Everything was just a described in the app, and the host checked in several times to make sure we were ok and didn't need anything. By the way, if you are food adventurous, i highly recommend checking out Royal Nepal restaurant. It's a two minute walk from the rental, and one of the best meals I've had in the DMV.

Comfortable and clean home!

We loved this home for our short stay! Close to DC, safe and friendly neighborhood. Lots of convenient extras in the home like dog treat for our pup and enough toilet paper and soaps for our weekend. The home was very clean and we were super comfortable! Would stay here again!
