Four of us ladies had a fabulous time at this beautifully appointed home! The beds were SO comfortable! One lady said she would have liked to take her bed home with her! Everything was clean. Each of us had our own television with remote, which was fun. We could view from each of our beds. Lots of outlets to plug in our electrical equipment. The house was in a great location for us to easily navigate to our meeting. AND there was plenty of parking for our four vehicles. All in all, we had a wonderful stay at this comfortable, welcoming home. And the host was so helpful to us, too! When we return to Alexandria, we definitely will want to stay here again!

Best VRBO we have stayed at!

The property is so very well maintained and streamlined. The beds are super comfortable and so much space for each person to sleep with privacy and a TV for each sleeping area. The location was fanastic, within walking distance to parks, shops and coffee! David was a very responsive host providing directions to assure we found it easily. Highly recommend this VRBO.
