Well-stocked, clean, great loc, comfy

This adorable home was perfect for our group of 7 - 2 adults and 5 kids aged 6-16. The tiny kitchen was well-stocked with whatever we needed for cooking and eating. They made use of every square inch of the space. All appliances worked well and there was also a washer drier combo there as well. The dining table fit us perfectly. The living room had ample, comfortable seating and a smart tv for the bit of downtime that we took advantage of. Beds were very comfortable. More so than any VRBO home we have stayed in. Hubby and I took the upstairs ‘suite’ for our own space. Kids spread out in the bedrooms downstairs and one in the den on the convertible bed. We walked to Ballston Metro daily - about 15 mins. Very convenient. Ballston area had great restaurants and grocery. The park at the end of the road was perfect for running out energy. The neighborhood felt really safe and anyone that walked by was really friendly. The ONLY negative was that the side of the house is on a Main Street with a hospital down the road so lots of ambulances went by. We utilized fans in rooms for some white noise. Our exhaustion after exploring DC all day was usually enough to sleep through it though. Would definitely stay here if coming to the DC area again.

Perfect Family Vacation!

The seven of us (ages 22mo-68y) enjoyed our stay! A short 15 minute walk to the metro and restaurants. Very quiet in the evenings, even though it is adjacent to a main highway. Remember that it is an old house, but that gives it so much charm! Very clean and comfortable! A great home away from home while seeing the Washington DC sites.

Sufficient for a short stay

It's clean and in a very convenient area. You are minutes from anywhere you want to be, including the metro. It has everything you need but minimally. The kitchen is a hall space small, but works for a short stay. Overall, I would use the property again. The check in was a breeze. It was easy to get a hold of the property owner and coffee and toiletries were provided. Nice.

Great location

The house was as described, clean, and in a great neighborhood. Walking distance to metro & bus stops. Host was communicative and gave clear instructions. They checked in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed.

Quick family trip to DC

Our family of 5 booked a few days to visit DC and found this home with many great reviews. Glad we did! Kelly is very responsive and hospitable, answering questions, and providing extra information as needed. The home is cozy and clean. All the beds were comfortable with plenty of linens provided. There was ample space for more guests to sleep if our kids had brought friends. We were within walking distance to beautiful Arlington, but we drove and Uber'd everywhere due to weather. There is road noise, but there were at least 5 fans available for everyone to use at night to drown out the noise. Will stay again if we get another chance to explore DC and Arlington!
