Everything about this property and the host was excellent. The location to Washington DC was unmatched by taking the metro into Downtown. The location to Gettysburg and Williamsburg was very convenient. The property itself was just as advertised. Alexandria is a great place to relax after the a long day. The property was historic and well appointed. Great restaurants nearby. The host was the best and easy to communicate with before the trip began. She was very helpful in every way. We have stayed at countless Vrbo's over the years and this was a top three experience for sure.

There really are not the right type of words to succinctly but adequately share how much our family enjoyed staying at Cheryl's gem of a house on Captain's Row. It was way better than the listing described. So many thoughtful touches, a perfect location, very comfortable beds and seating areas, and plenty of room to relax and enjoy our downtime before and after sightseeing. It was such a privilege to be steeped in a deeply historical house with furnishings and art to accentuate the experience. Cheryl was a gracious and attentive host. I've never finished a stay in a vacation rental thinking that I would plan my next trip to the same location around the rental's availability. I will definitely do so for Cheryl's place!
