Thanksgiving Stay
Our visit to our daughter’s home in Alexandria for theThanksgiving holiday was made super special by our stay at Mark’s house. Mark made the processes of check in and out easy and was very attentive during our stay. The house was roomy and well equipped for our adult family and in a friendly, well kept neighborhood with ample street parking. Having a fenced in backyard for our small dogs was extremely convenient. We would definitely like to stay at Mark’s again on future visits to Alexandria.

Our host was a great communicator, providing us with necessary information and helpful tips. We would recommend this home without reservation.

Clean and Comfortable in Alexandria
Our family loved our stay at this house; it was located conveniently close to restaurants and stores, and was a short 15 minute walk from Braddock Station. We visited all the DC monuments and museums during our stay, and really appreciated how well outfitted this house was. It had comfortable beds, furniture, kitchen appliances, and plenty of awesome coffee that we took advantage of each morning. Highly recommend this for families visiting DC that want to be nearby but still in a family friendly, quiet neighborhood. We walked to dinner at local restaurants most nights and really enjoyed the local spots.

Very nice, clean, and comfortable. Highly recommended
We stayed as a family of 4 for 3 days and enjoyed every moment we spent in the house. We had some good memories from Alexandria in the past and decided to stay in the city while taking care of our daughter’s college relocation in DC. Commute was ok and we found the house a nice, comfortable and welcoming place to get back to from a day full of adventures in DC. Kitchen is extraordinarily well stock and ready for you to enjoy cooking and serving. Huge Collection of high quality coffees and equipment to brew your heart out… a nice back yard table to enjoy your morning coffee and evening… clean, spacious and fully furnished bedrooms, two great bathrooms with well stock towels and soaps and shampoo for an entire tribe… sparkling clean sheets.. large screen TV sets in each room… The house was inviting you to stay and enjoy your stay. The neighborhood is calm, clean and great with store fronts and restaurants in walking distance (5mins). The host was/is super nice and helpful and communicative, adding some personal touch to the nice experience that our stay was. We are going back, and I recommend you try it too.

Girl’s Trip
What a beautiful home and what an amazing host! We decided to have a girls trip weekend in DC and we settled on staying in the Delray area of Alexandria, Virginia. The area is fantastic and every morning we walked to the local coffee shops for breakfast. The neighborhood is beautiful and the residents are very friendly. Just a few minutes drive from DC. By far one of the highlights of the trip was our host, Mark. He was very friendly and provided timely communication. The check in and check out processes were seamless. It was very clear to all of us that this host knows what he’s doing when it comes to furnishing a residence for out of town guests. Highly recommend booking with this host!

Excellent DC Stay
My family of five enjoyed this house as a home base for our week in DC. The house was clean with an abundance of amenities to make us feel right at home. The 10-minute walk to the metro took us through the adorable and friendly neighborhood. Mark was incredibly helpful and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

The property was as the pictures indicated. Our needs were met. We loved sitting outside. Although we didn't cook, there was plenty of everything if we wished to. The neighbors were friendly. Our host laid out what was expected of us - very little guessing. Overall, we had a fun time.

Great choice for a DC area vacation
Our family agreed this one of the best VRBO's we have experienced. The neighborhood was awesome and access to restaurants and shopping was just a short walk away. Realize that this is an older home with bathrooms on the basement and third level only. This was not a problem even for the 75 year old that had knee replacement completed in January. The home was extremely clean and comfortably furnished. The coffee selection was outstanding. The kitchen contained everything you need to prepare a meal including spices! Linens and towels were great quality. The owner, Mark, has really done an excellent job of providing all you need for an enjoyable stay. We had a minor issue late one evening, Mark was very quick in responding and helping us resolve our issue. We would definitely love to return for another stay!

Coffee lovers heaven!
This property was truly a comfy, cozy stay. With delicious coffee and espressos provided, the dining table was very comfortable to sit around with the six of us and enjoy a tasty breakfast from the Junction Bakery which is a convenient short walk. Mark, the host, was on top of things and was even there when we arrived. The beds were super comfortable after a long day of sightseeing. It is a great location and very quiet. One note, just make sure you can climb stairs rather easily as both bathrooms are either upstairs or downstairs.
