Convenient and comfortable

The check in process was very easy and the instructions were accurate. Although we did not eat meals there, it was very well equipped for cooking and even had condiments for guests. Loved the screened-in porch. Very comfortable bed also.

Great stay in Fairfax

My daughter is relocating to Fairfax and we used Burke’s place as home base while apartment hunting. This nicely decorated, roomy space had everything we needed and communication with the host was always prompt and helpful. Close to George Mason University, shopping, and old town Fairfax, the location worked well too. It was all around a great stay!

Clean, safe, convenient, attractive

I had to give this place five stars even though the description said full kitchen, which we were expecting to use, but it ended up not having a stove or oven, only a microwave. For most people that may be all that’s needed, and, if, so, everything else was ideal. I do think the listing description should be changed, however!

Great location

The basement apartment was great for our needs, we are older and visiting our grandkids. The screen in patio was a great place to have a quiet cup of coffee. The bed was VERY comfortable, the furniture was too. It came in handy to use the washer and dryer. Off street parking.

Visit to Mom & Dad

I had a wonderful stay. I had a very busy three week visit with my elderly parents. Burke and Sarah's quiet and restful home was sort of a haven at then end of some long days! It was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. Their home is located in quiet and convenient neighborhood. Highly recommend!!

Great location

We stayed at this location to go to a concert at Eagle Bank Arena. It was only a five minute drive to the venue. It is in a quiet residential neighborhood with easy access to stores for supplies. The basement area was clean and had all that we needed. As a mother traveling with two teenage girls, I felt very safe at this location.

Visiting new granddaughter

My first visit to see my new granddaughter and the new parents were worried about my big golden retriever being around the baby. The unit was neat and clean and the bed was very comfy. It’s in a nice quiet neighborhood and I would stay there again and recommend it to those visiting the area. The space is of course dog friendly.

Lovely apartment.

I found this to be a lovely apartment, very spacious, tidy, and well-equipped. Burke and Sarah were very responsive when I needed something a few times and were solicitous and attentive to how it was going. And the location is very convenient to George Mason University. Thanks for a good stay, Burke and Sarah.
