DC Visit
We enjoyed our stay very much, particularly the little back yard which was a great place to enjoy morning coffee. The house had everything we needed and was super close to the Metro Station. We’d stay here again.

Charming
The home was as advertised, very charming in a nice neighborhood within walking distance to churches, shops, restaurants, and museums. It is well served by Uber; we kept getting the same driver. The house was very clean and well stocked with all of the essentials. I would stay here again when visiting the area.

Great location
This is a great location to visit DC. The home is clean and cute. Couple of things you should be aware of: there is only one and a half baths, sleeping 6 would be a ridiculous effort, both bedrooms are upstairs and the stairs are challenging for anyone not in tiptop shape. Recommend if you are young and fit.

Beautiful quaint property that is ideally located within walking distance to all the great restaurants and stores within Old Town. The metro station to get to D.C was within walking distance as well.

AMAZING!
Our family of 4 stayed here and it was a perfect choice! We truly enjoyed calling this "home" for a week. The residence was clean, well stocked, the neighborhood felt safe, and we loved the proximity to grocery shopping, the King Street shops and restaurants, and the metro. We do wish the kitchen had a few more items (tea kettle, wisk, and a wider selection of knives) but other than that - it was PERFECT! We truly appreciated the prompt response from the owners for any questions that arose. THANK YOU for making our visit to DC WONDERFUL!

Great Location!
The property is very much as advertised. It is small, but very clean, well equipped, and in a great location. Our party was only 3--my husband, myself, and our adult son, so we had enough room. Very short walk to restaurants, grocery and liquor stores, etc. On-street parking was easy to find within a couple of houses of the property with the pass provided. The host was extremely responsive to the one issue we had (wanting to stay one extra night). I highly recommend this property.

Cute and Clean Old Town Alexandria Home
We had a wonderful stay at this adorable home! It had everything we needed including a pack n play for our infant. The rooms were a good size. We could fit an inflatable toddler bed in one room and the pack n play in the other. We loved that it had a backyard. The home was very clean. It was an easy walk to the main streets with shopping and dining. It was also easy to park in front of the home. It was nice to be able to walk around the corner to Chewish Deli for bagels and Starbucks for coffee. The hosts were easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to visit the Alexandria/DC area!

Cute little renovated 2br/1.5ba townhouse near the Metro
We had a great time in DC on a family trip staying here. Walked to metro and restaurants daily. House had new appliances and fixtures and most everything we needed. Great fenced in yard for the boys to run around in. The beds were comfy. The only things I wish I had known before I booked: - it’s big enough for 2 adults and 2-3 kids. we had 3 adults, 2 kids, and an infant. There was a pack n play for the infant, but no other baby amenities.. we ended up bathing the baby by holding him in the shower - would’ve done it in the kitchen sink but there wasn’t a mixing bowl big enough. Also, for some reason I misread the listing and the sofa is NOT a pullout - our au pair ended up sleeping on the sofa in the living room, which was a biiit less than ideal. Wish there was at least a set of sheets to place on top for him. The other bed is a rope cot in the master bedroom on which you can put a twin air mattress. But since we wanted to sleep in separate spaces, we didn’t end up using that. - it can get a bit warm upstairs during the summer. Even with the AC on 72, it felt hot upstairs. When the AC is lower, it’d be freezing downstairs and comfortable upstairs. - a bit of an ant problem in the kitchen… they seemed to come in under the backdoor.. maybe the weather seal needs replacing.. we kept things pretty clean and still found new ants everyday. Overall, we had a great time!

Great location
This property was great for a week-long stay. It had everything we needed and was a 10 minute walk to the metro. The house is in a cute little neighborhood and is walking distance (or a short drive) to lots of restaurants, bars, etc. We were worried about being able to find parking, but were able to get a spot on the street each night. The house itself is cozy, clean and well-stocked with the items we needed (kitchen appliances, towels, etc).
