My friends and I stayed the night at this house so we could travel to DC during spring break. It is conveniently located by the Vienna Metro Station, and was clean and comfortable. The host had a fast response time and was very nice. We were worried at first about safety due how secluded the house was, but my group felt very safe. Would recommend and stay here again.

A group of friends stayed here for a trip to see a concert at Wolf Trap. It was nicely located to the venue, clean, and large enough for all of us. We spent quite a bit of time by their nice firepit area also which was a very nice accommodation to have! I would recommend this place to someone looking for a larger place to stay in this area.

Very nice clean property in the basement of a beautiful home in the woods. Was very comfortable. Plenty of space for all of us. Private entrance was nice. Small kitchen area was perfect for what we needed. Owner was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. Was close enough to anything we wanted to see or do.

Overall, we had a good stay and there were definitely some highlights. The space was comfortable, and the projector with the large screen was a really nice touch that we especially enjoyed.That said, there were a couple of issues that impacted our experience. One of the bedrooms had a strong cigarette smoke odor, despite the no-smoking notices throughout the property. It seemed to be isolated to that room, which made it stand out even more. While we were able to adjust and use other sleeping arrangements, the smell was noticeable and could be a concern for guests with sensitivities or children.There was also some foot traffic noise from above, particularly late at night and early in the morning. Since this is a basement space, that wasn’t unexpected and isn’t something I would personally rate the stay down for, but it’s worth noting for light sleepers.Overall, aside from these issues, the stay was enjoyable. With a bit of attention to the odor concern, this could easily be a higher-rated experience.

We are truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. As hosts, we are fully committed to providing a high-quality experience for every guest, and we work very hard to maintain a comfortable and welcoming home. In this instance, we were unable to accommodate requests that went against our established house rules and policies, which are in place to ensure fairness, safety, and consistency for all guests. We understand that this may have been disappointing, but we do our best to be transparent and clear about these guidelines from the start.

Spring Break Vacation

This property provided the perfect respite as we left DC during Spring Break. The property was exactly as described; extremely spacious, clean, and with useful amenities. The beds were comfortable and we were pleasantly surprised at the comfort provided by the floor mattresses our children slept on. The linens were plentiful And the entire space had clear communication with placards that shared requests from the host. Would definitely book this location again if travelling in the area.
