Host was quick to respond to my questions. House was in a good neighborhood and close to the metro and DC. We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room and a very nice downstairs family room.

Thank you for your kind words!
We appreciate your staying with us
Glad you enjoyed the house.
The rooms are clean. Spacious house with plenty of room for the family. Kitchen had everything we needed for the stay. Host was communicative and helpful. Conveniently located, near shops, markets, restaurants and highway.
This was 2 elderly grandparents going down to visit grandchildren for the birthday of one of them. The home is very comfortable and sufficiently spacious for a casual visit by 2 to 8. It has been upgraded throughout, including a large nicely done family room that let the kids play and watch the large screen TV. It was perfect for the visit. We also hosted the family birthday party. Michael (the owner) was amazingly prompt with all responses and attended to every need.We do expect to try to return on later visits to the grandchildren.
I've rented short term rentals for years and this was one of the cleanest and most comfortable accommodations we have ever rented. Things were white glove clean. I'm a clean freak and literally didn't see anything concerning!If you're looking for a cramped, modern, sleek place to stay this isn't it. But if you like room to stretch out, do work on computers, watch your shows, multiple areas to relax, convenient location, and wonderful hosts, this is your place. Michael, the host was fabulous.Don't hesitate with this one, it's just as advertised and you will leave relaxed and rested.

Thank you for your very kind and gracious comments.
I am the host but after reading your review, I wanted to stay there!
It was our pleasure to have you and your family stay with us!
We hope you will come stay with us again, and best wishes for the rest of the year!
We really enjoyed our stay! Communication was great with the host! The house was clean and very spacious. Very quiet neighborhood and close to freeway and stores.
This house is so beautiful, roomy, and comfortable. It's located in a quiet neighborhood but close to everything. The weather wasn't great for enjoying the yard, but it was lovely. We gathered for a family reunion but spent and time visiting the monuments & memorials around the Capital. Michael was a wonderful host; he responds rapidly to questions. The only thing I would change about this home would be a mattress topper for the bed in the master bedroom. It was too firm for me. Everyone else was comfortable in their beds. We had 5 adults staying there. Thank you, Michael, for sharing your wonderful home.
Host was excellent in answering questions and offering many recommendations to make our stay memorable. His house served 3 senior adult couples in the finest way. Our first ever to stay in a house on a trip and we will do it again!
We traveled to the DC area for a wedding. This was a Beautiful home with plenty of room for our family. Clean comfortable beds and bedding. The host Michael was GREAT! We would stay again if we had another family event or traveling on vacation.
We had a relaxing few days in this beautiful house. There were four of us and we had plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen looked brand new and was really well stocked. The entire house was super clean, the beds were comfy and there were games, puzzles and books available. On site parking was a bonus!It was great being close to DC without the hassle of being right in the heart of the Capital. Michael was a great host - check in, check out and questions in between all went smoothly. If we are ever in the area again I would definitely check to see if this listing is still available.

We are so happy that you had an enjoyable and relaxing time at the house. That is our goal and we are happy to see you had a great time in D.C. Thanks for your kind words. Please come back again soon!
This is an excellent property if you are visiting the Alexandria/DC area. It was perfect for our small group. We could hang out in the morning and have coffee together in the beautiful living room, or watch a game together on the big screen TV downstairs at night. It is only about 12 minutes from DC and 12 minutes from Old Town Alexandria. A metro stop isn't too far either if you wanted to take a day trip downtown DC. Very clean, great amenities. Cannot suggest this property enough.
House was beautiful and spacious for our family. Perfect location for our Arlington/DC activities. Owner was incredibly helpful and responsive during our stay. Highly recommend it.
Nice kitchen we could cook easily. The dining room was great we spent time eating and playing games afterwards great family time together. Plenty of shopping close grocery restaurants easy trip into the city.

So Glad that you enjoyed the kitchen and the dining room. We try to make it comfortable and to make it your home away from home.
Our family felt right at home here. It was a perfect place to have a Christmas away from home, especially with the big living space downstairs. Also a great location to everything in the NoVA/DC area by car. The host was extremely responsive and accommodating. All appliances worked great. Will hope to stay again in the future!
This property worked perfect for our group of 6. It was conveniently located, and Michael the host was very quick and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend him and this property!
The location of this house is perfect for traveling into DC. The house was very clean, and the host was polite and very easy to work with.
