We had a wonderful one-night stay in Alexandria, VA. The home was charming, comfortable, and in a great location- perfect for exploring the area. The beds were very comfortable, and the home was well equipped with everything we needed for a short stay. Communication with the hosts was excellent from start to finish, making everything smooth and easy. We only wish we could have stayed longer, and we would absolutely book again in the future!

We had a lovely stay at the Monroe. The check in process was easy and the host was very communicative. Off street parking for two cars was nice. It was nicely furnished and well appointed, although it could do with some general upkeep. There were good restaurants in walking distance in Del Ray.
