The house was great! The layout was perfect for our family. It was like staying at a friends place, with all of the blankets, pillows, towels, toilet paper, napkins, and paper towels that you needed. The backyard was like a little oasis. The location was great. Easy to get to the metro, old town, and zoo. A 5 star experience!
This is one of the best places in which we’ve ever stayed. The bedrooms were all comfortable and main spaces well appointed. One of my pet peeves when staying at a property is not enough seating for the number of guests. This property had ample seating around the dining table as well as the living areas. The cleanliness was excellent. The hosts definitely raised the bar by providing snacks, plenty of towels, and higher quality bathroom supplies. We appreciated not having a huge list of “to dos” for checkout.The outdoor space was extra lovely. We were lucky enough to be there while the wisteria was in bloom and the smell was intoxicating and relaxing. We were in town for a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery and this home definitely reflected its name. It brought us peace and much needed family time.

Namaste!
I am Suraj. My story began in Nepal, a small and beautiful country known for its majestic Himalayas, lush valleys, ancient temples, and warm hospitality. I love connecting meaningfully with people from all walks of life and corners of the world. Having lived, studied, and worked in countries across Asia, Europe, and North America, I chose to call the DC area home. I enjoy traveling, cooking mean curries, and collecting eclectic art.
