Space was very clean and worked really well for our stay. I liked there was a pack and play for our little one, which saved us from having to figure out how to bring one.

Host was welcoming Clean linens and home, the kitchen could have had a few things more for cooking ie cutting board, larger frying pan, possibly an extra mixing bowl or two. Other than that my 4 sisters and I enjoyed our stay, close to airport and a few other destinations like Arlington National Cemetary.

Really enjoyed the house for our stay! Everything was comfortable and easy. We visited for a Veterans group reunion. The location was perfect for access to sights, shopping, etc. Morning coffee was a highlight in the kitchen and main floor for socializing. Felt bad that our excitement caused some noise issues. Future guests should know ahead of time that noise levels are checked. Kudos to the host, Mark!

I love to travel; the only continent I haven’t been to yet is South America. Photography is another passion, particularly portrait photography. I have four daughters and one son.

Since I enjoy great coffee, I like to treat my guests to a great coffee experience. The kitchen has a Nespresso machine with features to make espresso drinks, French press or drip coffee. I provide complimentary Nespresso pods and whole bean coffee.
