Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynda G. 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Wonderful in so many ways. So many nice touches. We loved the decor and the thoughtfulness of so many details. We had 3 main issues. First, the upstairs shower is in serious need of updating and felt like a cheap rental apt from my 20s and the shower head was so low my husband and teen boys had to shower in the basement. Second, the grass was so high in the backyard that we couldn’t use the fire pit or play cornhole. Third, the kitchen was difficultly small. One person at a time. And it serves as the passage to the basement. We worked it out, but 6 people in the house would be tough. Just making sure people can make informed decisions. Despite these issues, we greatly enjoyed our stay and Mark’s ability to host well. It was convenient for our DC activities and had great food nearby. The washer and dryer were a huge help. We would consider staying again. It would be nice though if the basement bedroom had some sort of shelf to serve as a nightstand, and had a smaller table in the room. We loved the August Home door lock app. And the variety of coffee was fun. The house felt very clean. The fan on the back deck kept bugs away and made for a pleasant sit even in mid 80s weather in the evening. ##### Lynda G.

There were 6 adults in our group and this home was perfect for our trip! The home is beautiful and in a nice neighborhood. Check in and check out was seamless. The host provided answers to any questions we had quickly. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and we could have easily eaten all our meals there if we had desired to do so. We would definitely stay here again if needed and highly recommend this home and host. We have nothing negative to say! ##### Amy S.

Premisis were extremely well-organized and modern. Access to wireless network and other electronics was simple and without problems. Everything worked like it was supposed to. Clearly a well, and comprehensively conceived and maintained VRBO. Communication with host was fluid and always timely. No issues with any aspect of the stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Monica D. 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Loved the location From the description and pictures on the site, I thought it to be a great rate for the location and the looks of the house. Yes, this house does need a deep cleaning. The heating/AC vents are covered with built up dust. The fridge needs a thorough cleaning as well. The one thing that sold me was the 3 king sized beds. However, 2 of the rooms really could use just a queen size bed. I had the basement bedroom a had difficulty getting in and out of bed without crab-walking along the wall. The downstairs bedroom does not have room for a side table to put your phone, a glass of water - or in my case, my C-pap machine. The beds were comfortable and clean. It is an older homer and could use some updates, but I guess that will come with time. The kitchen has limited space, so plan on one cook if you plan on cooking breakfast, etc. The yard needed to be tended to, the grass was high and the patio with the table and chairs were covered with dead leaves. We wanted to sit out there to chill, but would have needed to use towels to cover the chairs after using a stick to remove the leaves from the back of the chairs. I would love to give this property a higher rating, because it is in a creat neighborhood - close to the Metro, good restaurants and grocery stores. One thing I would like to suggest to the owner - put a hand rail at the top of the stairs to the basement - the steps are steep and it would be helpful to someone needing the assistance of navigating the steps. ##### Monica D. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ronald D W. 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Poor maintenance and insufficient HVAC The pictures in the VRBO listing do not depict the property as we found it - in sad need of maintenance and renovation. The house if very cramped and small for the number of guests who supposedly could be accommodated. And the back yard and deck were practically unusable. It appeared no yard work had been done for quite some time and the deck was in disarray.The most troubling problem, though, was the inadequacy of the HVAC system to make the house comfortable. The upstairs rooms were very hot while the basement was like a meat locker. The owner clearly recognizes the problem since the main upstairs bedroom has a window AC unit (not depicted in the pictures) and there was a large floor fan blocking the entrance to the other upstairs bedroom. The basement bathroom shower curtain had mold/mildew and the toilet paper holder was broken.While the proximity to Mt. Vernon Avenue and Del Ray in Alexandria is very convenient, the total cost of the VRBO rental, including required fees, totaling almost 1750 for three nights, was excessive, considering the quality of the accommodations. ##### Ronald D W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nancy M. 6 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I hosted out of town guests and we enjoyed the house. Mark was attentive and helped us out with a TV glitch that we had. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, and we had plenty of towels. We used the deck, and enjoyed the neighborhood, but felt that the yard could have been maintained better. ##### Nancy M.

It was a very well appointed, comfortable, and well located home, with excellent communication from our host whenever we had any questions or concerns. We would highly recommend it. ##### Donna E. Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Halftime A. 9 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great neighborhood Great location for exploring Alexandria and DC area. We walked to metro and went into DC for sightseeing. Easy to get around to all the sights. Had not been to Alexandria before and really liked the town. Very walkable and incredible history all around. House was great. Thank you. ##### Halftime A.
