Excellent DC Stay
My family of five enjoyed this house as a home base for our week in DC. The house was clean with an abundance of amenities to make us feel right at home. The 10-minute walk to the metro took us through the adorable and friendly neighborhood. Mark was incredibly helpful and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

The property was as the pictures indicated. Our needs were met. We loved sitting outside. Although we didn't cook, there was plenty of everything if we wished to. The neighbors were friendly. Our host laid out what was expected of us - very little guessing. Overall, we had a fun time.

Great choice for a DC area vacation
Our family agreed this one of the best VRBO's we have experienced. The neighborhood was awesome and access to restaurants and shopping was just a short walk away. Realize that this is an older home with bathrooms on the basement and third level only. This was not a problem even for the 75 year old that had knee replacement completed in January. The home was extremely clean and comfortably furnished. The coffee selection was outstanding. The kitchen contained everything you need to prepare a meal including spices! Linens and towels were great quality. The owner, Mark, has really done an excellent job of providing all you need for an enjoyable stay. We had a minor issue late one evening, Mark was very quick in responding and helping us resolve our issue. We would definitely love to return for another stay!

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 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 house, great location
This duplex was perfect for us. Our two teenagers each got their own room, which they loved. The beds were super comfortable. The place was nicely decorated and the Nespresso with an assortment of pods and coffee maker with an assortment of beans were a nice touch for a coffee-lover like me. The neighborhood is nice and felt safe. Friendly neighbors. Close to a metro station, although we just drove into DC and parked. It’s a short drive when not rush hour. Mark had just the right amount of communication. I would definitely stay here again!

Scandinavian Organization and Hospitality
Property was ideally located in quiet residential neighbor...bur only 5 minute walk from dozens of boutique eateries, grocers, and pharmacy. 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.

Would stay at this property again
This property was as listed. The location was excellent, the house was clean, the beds were so comfortable and it was just what we needed for adults with kids on a quick family trip for our weekend visit. The only challenge we experienced was a neighbor of the property knocking on the door to inform us her child was asleep and to ask we stop making a sound that was out of our control, due to a door that would stick and needed to be pulled hard to open or slammed to close. We let Mark know right away just to assure that we were not doing this intentionally. We had an issue locking up due to our own mistake and Mark was quick to answer and help us out. We would stay here again.

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!

Enjoyed our stay...but no bathroom on the main floor.
We had a very nice time. Mark was very accommodating. My big problem was there were only a bathroom upstairs level and in the basement. This was never noted in the description of the property. There is no bathroom on the main level. I had a knee replacement which makes walking upstairs to go to the bathroom every time was inconvenient/painful. My daughter who's 5 months pregnant also had to make that trip upstairs every time. (Pregnant girls need to go to the bathroom a lot.) Honestly, if I knew there wasn't a bathroom on the main level I would never would have booked it. If bathrooms aren't a problem, nice place to book.

Family Stay and Room for Everyone
We were visiting our son and daughter-in-law for our granddaughter's first birthday in Alexandria. We were traveling with an infant, 3 year old, and 5 year old along with our daughter and son-in-law so that meant a lot of stuff to deal with! Everyone got their own room and we were able to make breakfast each morning for everyone. Mark, the owner, even stopped by with a brand new coffee maker to add to the house. The house has Norwegian decor and a TV in each bedroom. Full laundry room, plenty of towels, and king size comfy beds were appreciated. All in all, a great trip thanks to being able to stay in the comforts of home rather than a cramped hotel room.
