Wonderful place to stay

This house was located in a quiet, beautiful and friendly neighborhood. It took about 15 min to walk to the metro. There were several good restaurants between the metro and the house where we could stop to eat on our way back to the house after a day of sight seeing. Aldi and Walgreen were also very close to the house. We loved the coffee!! Mark was very attentive to our needs and quick to respond. We would most definitely stay in this house again!

Great location with large yard

We had a very brief but wonderful stay at Mark’s house for a staycation; our dogs loved the big yard and the master bed was very comfortable. It’s in a great and very walkable location. We booked on short notice and were very happy with the accommodations.

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.

Family Washington DC trip

We had a wonderful stay in Alexandria. Everything was accurate to listing. Beds were comfortable and plenty of room for everyone to spread out after long days in DC. Nespresso machine and pods were an added bonus to kick start out mornings. Would recommend a stay here. Close to lots of restaurants.

The perfect place to stay on vacation!

This is a GREAT house in a GREAT location! Super clean and very well stocked! Everything is cozy and aesthetically pleasing - and the coffee set up made us feel spoiled and was super generous! We were close to everything with a short drive and the owner was so kind and had lots of great suggestions. The patio and yard were also very enjoyable! Great for families or friends with plenty of space and parking. We will definitely book again when we are back in the area!

Great Home in a Great Neighborhood

Mark's duplex is a fantastic stay for anyone looking for a long-term stay in a walkable, friendly neighborhood - especially if you have a dog! Communication about access and the location was excellent and proactive. The yard was a great bonus for our dog to run around and enjoy greeting all of the neighbors. We would definitely stay here again!

Family Vacation

The neighborhood was safe to the point my family and I could walk to near by restaurants, coffee shops, and drug stores. Neighbors were friendly and the Vrbo was inviting. Additionally, the property manager was helpful and accommodating regarding anything we needed. We would stay again.

Love this spot!!

Love love love! Very nice property, well-kept and beautifully set up. This house is in a great location, close walking distance to restaurants and stores, and the perfect location to access Arlington and DC also (we stayed here to attend a funeral in Arlington and it could not have been more convenient). Mark was a very good host with great communication. Convenient yet cozy and welcoming, we would definitely stay here again.

Alexandria

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.

Wonderful in so many ways. So many nice touches. We loved the decor and the thoughtfulness of so many details. We had 3 main issues. First, the upstairs shower is in serious need of updating and felt like a cheap rental apt from my 20s and the shower head was so low my husband and teen boys had to shower in the basement. Second, the grass was so high in the backyard that we couldn’t use the fire pit or play cornhole. Third, the kitchen was difficultly small. One person at a time. And it serves as the passage to the basement. We worked it out, but 6 people in the house would be tough. Just making sure people can make informed decisions. Despite these issues, we greatly enjoyed our stay and Mark’s ability to host well. It was convenient for our DC activities and had great food nearby. The washer and dryer were a huge help. We would consider staying again. It would be nice though if the basement bedroom had some sort of shelf to serve as a nightstand, and had a smaller table in the room. We loved the August Home door lock app. And the variety of coffee was fun. The house felt very clean. The fan on the back deck kept bugs away and made for a pleasant sit even in mid 80s weather in the evening.

College Drop Off

We stayed here while dropping off our son at American University. Very cute location, close to Alexandria and easy drive to AU. I grew up in Alexandria, so appreciated the location and how easy it was to visit my old haunts and friends who live in the area. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of room for all of us. Had my parents per for dinner on evening and kitchen had all I needed to make a nice meal. Enjoyable stay!

Perfect family vacation

This trip was for family to enjoy the sights of DC. There were 6 adults in our group and this home was perfect for our trip! The home is beautiful and in a nice neighborhood. Check in and check out was seamless. The host provided answers to any questions we had quickly. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and we could have easily eaten all our meals there if we had desired to do so. We would definitely stay here again if needed and highly recommend this home and host. We have nothing negative to say!

Why they chose this property

The backyard is large and a plus for families with young children and/or a dog(s). The teak table and dining chairs on the back deck are a great place to relax outdoors or to barbecue on the gas grill.
