I am a coffee fanatic so I enjoy providing free whole bean coffee and Nespresso pods.
Message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Charming neighborhood. Many people walk, run, or walk their dogs in the neighborhood. Nearby neighbors are extremely friendly....feel free to say hello to any of the neighbors.
You can choose to use either the August Home Smart Lock or a key that is located in a lockbox by the front door.
This is a three story house situated in an adorable neighborhood in Alexandria called DelRay. It is a three story house with family room, dining room and kitchen on the main floor. The second floor has two bedrooms and a full bath with shower and tub. The basement has one bedroom, a full bath with shower and tub and a laundry room.

One or two people can also sleep in the living room. The BoConcept L shaped sofa is quite large and can accomodate someone who wants to sleep on a firm sofa. There is also an inflatable Serta mattress with a built in air pump that can be inflated in just a few minutes that can sleep one or two people.

There is a large backyard and a deck with pergola that has a gorgeous teak dining table with stylish outdoor chairs. There is a gas grill so you can grill steaks or some fresh seafood.

For parents with infants, there is a baby crib, a Pack 'n Play, a high chair, and one stair gate.
Easy access to DC, Old Town Alexandria and the Braddock Road Metro Station. Ample street parking right in front of house. 15 minute walk or 3 minute car ride to Braddock Road Metro station. Scooter and bike rentals are located on Mount Vernon Avenue only two blocks from the house.

Great alternative for a hotel for a work meeting.
We needed a place to stay for a team meeting. This place was perfect in location and size. The backyard provided a nice table with lights to sit outside and unwind after a long day. The neighborhood is safe and great for walks in for dinner or exercise. Host is very close (next door) and very responsive… lots of good coffee options.

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 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.

Coffee lovers heaven!
This property was truly a comfy, cozy stay. With delicious coffee and espressos provided, the dining table was very comfortable to sit around with the six of us and enjoy a tasty breakfast from the Junction Bakery which is a convenient short walk. Mark, the host, was on top of things and was even there when we arrived. The beds were super comfortable after a long day of sightseeing. It is a great location and very quiet. One note, just make sure you can climb stairs rather easily as both bathrooms are either upstairs or downstairs.

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!

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.
