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.

Great property, exactly as described. Convenient location to all things DC as we were in town for a concert. Host was communicative and welcoming. Great care put into ensuring the unit has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The sectional with projection TV was great for movie night! Highly recommend and would stay here again.

One bedroom had no drawers for cloths so we had keep our cloths in our suitcase on the floor. In the second bedroom, the bed was pushed up next to the wall. The only way to get into bed on the one side was to climb in from the foot of the bed. The one bathroom did not have enough towel hooks or racks to accommodate 4 people. There were hairs in the shower from previous guests. The home was in a good location to get to the train station for Washington DC. Owners were helpful when we had questions.

Great spot in Fairfax

Immaculately clean basement apartment in a convenient location to lots of things in Northern Virginia and DC. We had 3 kids with us and were very comfortable. The hosts clearly have put a lot of thought into making their guests feel welcome and at home. Highly recommend.

AMAZING!!!

This stay was not only PERFECT for our travels and visits but it was a next level experience. Very last minute we had to make special accommodations and Ahsan went above and beyond to ensure everything could come together for us. It was clean, spacious, and had absolutely everything we needed and then some. It was a BEAUTIFUL property that allowed us to relax in our stay and enjoy the time. I would 100% book here again - you will not regret it.

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.

Pros: Comfortable beds and plenty of extra linens. It was nice to watch the big screen tv but you can not screen mirror your streaming movies or shows. Cons: There were a few live bugs we had to take care of including Beatles and spider. The space is in the basement of a home that you can hear the family above which is disclosed in the description but it was louder than expected. You could hear a lot of walking, running, vacuuming, and crying late at night. We (my husband & 3 teenagers) ended up falling asleep around 11pm and you could still hear them actively moving around above even with fans on.

Beautiful property

This is a great place to stay if you don’t have any special requirements. It was hard for us because we were preparing food for our daughter’s Celebration of Life, which we had notified the hosts about. We were surprised to find no full size refrigerator, just 2 mini-fridges, one in the kitchenette and one in a closet. So no possibility of us prepping at this house. Fortunately we had booked two houses and did all food prep at the other one.The other issue was the full flight of stairs leading to the owner’s quarters. Tough with an 18 month old, while trying to prepare for a big event.But if you don’t have these kind of special circumstances, the property is lovely. Beautiful inside and out!

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. Close to airport for travel. Very nice place to stay. Thank you!
