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.

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.

HU Homecoming Girls Reunion Trip
The property is well appointed, clean, in a good safe neighborhood and central location. It's just much smaller than it looks on line. The 2 full bathrooms are not modern but clean. Just 20 minutes from downtown DC. One of the bedrooms is extremely small and there is no bathroom on the main floor. Other than those minor things we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Mark our host was friendly, accessible and attentive.

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.

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

Great Location!
Nice home close to everything. We walked to a few restaurants which was convenient and very convenient to DC sightseeing. We were only there for two nights then headed to MD to see family. Our stay was good. The coffee selection (& Setup) was awesome, nice touch Mark. We spent most of the time outside the house in DC but when we got back, we were comfortable. We only used four of the five bedrooms. Just to note, two bedrooms are downstairs. Mark was great to communicate with. Thanks for ths stay Mark!

Great family vacation. We walked to dinner in the neighborhood and walked the dogs to the park, and walked to the metro to take in the sites, museums, and even a caps game. Close to the airport and a huge shopping center. We recommend the District Biscuit company...very yummy and close by. The neighborhood is very dog friendly and theres a great park nearby for dmall children to play. The house is very quiet with plenty of room for the whole family.

Cute Townhouse in Alexandria
Mark's place in Alexandria was perfect for our family's stay. We were in town for a promotion ceremony at Joint Base Andrews and to do a little DC sightseeing. This house was in a very convenient location. The neighborhood is super cute and walkable. We Ubered to most things but we did walk around the neighborhood and it was scenic and safe with lots of families residing in the area. The beds were super comfy and the place was roomy enough for 4 adults and 2 pre teens. We loved the Swedish décor and we all raved about the Nespresso machine and the nice English teas. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. We had the pleasure of meeting the host and he was so accommodating. I would recommend this VRBO to others looking for a safe low key place to stay near DC. Thanks so much, Mark!
