Cute Alexandria Home
We came to Virginia for a wedding and decided to stay longercand visit tgw DC area. The home was minutes from Kings Street Metro and Old Town Alexandrea. The house was cute, clean and roomy enough for 8. The subdivision was quaint. Our host was very responsive. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Excellent Property for Family Stay in DC Metro Area
This property served as an excellent vacation rental for our family of 5 for a week-long trip to visit the DC metro area. It’s just a 15 minute drive (during low traffic times) to the National Mall. One metro station is walking distance and another metro station (with a parking garage) is just an 8 minute drive. The beds were all comfortable, kitchen is well-stocked and very nice for meal preparation, the backyard patio and grilling station are also very nice. The neighborhood is well maintained, safe, and very quaint. Our host was both very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend this property and host. We’d definitely stay here again.

Lovely little home
This house was a great place to rest and wind down after spending the day sightseeing in DC. It had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed grilling and hanging out on the back patio. The kids loved their room and all the beds were very comfortable. We looked forward to getting back there at the end of our day. The stairs out front were very steep getting to the front door but we knew that from the description on Vrbo.

Just Perfect!
Great location, nice neighborhood close to metro, just a short walk less than a mile. Close to down town Old Alexandria. House was very nice. Manager was responsive and helpful. Would stay here again. I read some comments about the step. They were not bad at all. The house has step but nothing extreme. My 70 year old stepmother navigated them without issue.

A Great Home Base
We loved this location. It felt like a home away from home for our visit to the D.C. area. It was within a good walking distance (about 18 - 20 min) for a family of 5 with a 5 year old to get to the metro. We felt very safe in the neighborhood, and enjoyed the time we had at the house as a family. The beds were great, the showers were awesome, and we would definitely re-book this location if we come back to this area.

Great property for a group
We stayed 7 days over Christmas. We made dinner for 8 on Christmas Eve. Large backyard area if we stayed in the summer. 😏 very comfortable. Good location in nice neighborhood. Only challenge is 10 steps up from street. At 75 I am healthy enough to negotiate the stairs, however I think they would be a challenge for anyone with disabilities.

Great House
This is a wonderful property in a good location. There is plenty of room and love that the upstairs bedrooms have been separated by a wall making both room private. Andrew was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. Yes there is a lot of stairs but they are doable as we are in our 70's. The patio is very relaxing but the grill needs some repair. The Metro is not within walking distance so you will have to drive and pay for parking which ran us $18 a day at the Embassy Suites garage, I would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful House, to many stairs to get to front door.
The house, the location, the neighborhood are all top notch. The only concern I had was the steep thirteen steps to get to the front door. If you have no problem with stairs, I highly recommend this has the perfect place. But there are no pictures showing the steepness of the front of the property. Beware if you have issues.

Family weekend
We stayed here for an extended weekend. There were 6 adults and 1 child. The house was clean, linens provided, and even bathroom accessories present. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and enjoy family meals. Andy was responsive and timely in all communication. We had an issue with the dishwasher and he showed up and took care of it very quickly! Overall, the house looked like the pictures. The third bedroom wasn't exactly private and the stairs up to the home were a little challenging for my dad. But we made it work and made wonderful memories!

Deceptive Listing
Place was great, it just didn't have the bedroom configuration that was listed. Despite a listing that was flush with photos (pictures of the rooms, pictures of the coffee maker, pictures of hallways and room closeups, pictures of the place settings, pictures of town), there was NO photograph of one of the bedrooms only being accessible through another bedroom. Essentially making 2 of the rooms not private to each other (despite the listing saying 3 private bedrooms). This was a critical omission which would have had us booking elsewhere for the needs of our group. The property manager was going to kick us out when I complained, which would have been even worse at that point after traveling 8 hours with small children and elderly relatives who already needed to be displaced as a result of the deceptive listing.

Beautiful House near DC
This is a beautiful house, which easily hosted my wife and I and our two adult children. It was very clean and welcoming. Parking is on the street, but 1) it's a quiet street and 2) there were plenty of spaces available. We noted several people walking everyday, so we felt like very safe. Andrew, our host, communicated promptly.

This house was perfect for our stay in the DC area. Walking to the Masonic Temple and the Metro station were completely doable, though very hilly. We were very familiar with the area and so knew ahead of time what it would be like. The neighborhood was beautiful. Andrew made us feel welcome and was available for any questions we had.

Good news or bad news first?
The host was kind and let us check in about 11 am since we had a redeye flight, but when we arrived there was a worker there tearing up the back concrete patio. He was supposed to be done by 3 o’clock (regular time for checking in) but by the end of our weeklong stay in Alexandria the project was never finished! Our vacation was interrupted with details about the progress of the concrete pad replacement and reasons for why workers hadn’t shown up to finish the work. This was frustrating because we were supposed to be on vacation and not dealing with household projects! The owner gave us $100 for our trouble after we asked him to make it right, but we were not able to use the patio for the entire week! The outdoor patio and backyard was one of the main reasons we chose this VRBO and this was not even accessible until day 3 of our stay. On day 3, the owner placed a tarp over the dirt and put a table with chairs out there for us to use but there were still stacks of concrete and project materials taking up the backyard space. The barbecue and outdoor couches were not able to be used all week. We never ended up being able to use the backyard the way that it was displayed in the VRBO pictures. And we really could’ve used the patio considering the weather was beautiful and we were walking a lot each day to tour DC. The patio situation wouldn’t have been so bad if the house had a relaxing place to sit after walking 7 miles each day. The property has one chair and one aging couch that sinks in the middle which is uncomfortable and awkward for lounging with our adult-sized teens. We tried to watch one episode on Netflix and that was the last time our family spent time together in the front room trying to relax because it was just so uncomfortable. Two days when we arrived back at the property, police were present and that made us feel very uncomfortable. Finally, we were not as close to downtown Alexandria as we had hoped. We had to walk down very busy streets and cross two busy highway off-ramps. The walk is all uphill from downtown Alexandria back. Upon arrival, the property was very clean and made us feel safe in regards to staying at a VRBO during current public health concerns. Our teenagers enjoyed each having their own queen size bed. The kitchen is spacious and has a massive refrigerator. It was nice to be able to do a load of laundry when we needed to. And our teenagers found it nice to find lamps with USB and USBC ports for their electronics.
