The house was perfect for what we needed. There was plenty of parking and the house was easy to find. Our questions were answered promptly. It was clean and had plenty of space for our group of 7. Kitchen is small but we didn’t cook much so it was not an issue. With 3 teenage girls, we had no issues with hot water for showers.

There were plenty of rooms with comfortable beds to house our family, with a great living & dining area to gather together. A short walk to the Metro gave us access to everything we wanted to get to in the city. The kids enjoyed the park, which was a quick two-block walk away. The kitchen was small, but had everything we needed. Our host was responsive, check in and out was easy. If we’re ever in DC again, this will be our first choice!

Our stay couldn’t have been more enjoyable! The warm and welcoming property was easy to find, and the check-in process was very easy. The property was well appointed, and had so many thoughtful details! We loved the large screen tvs in multiple rooms, the terrific A/C and the kitchen stocked with virtually everything we needed to prepare breakfasts and dinner for our large family. The property is very kid friendly, with lots of sleeping options. The neighborhood was convenient to shopping and restaurants, and felt very safe. Kelly, our host, was very responsive, and cheery! We’re very grateful to her for her hospitality and understanding. All in all, this house was the perfect perch from which our family enjoyed our Washington DC reunion.

Almost everything was fine with the home. We felt safe. Communication with host was great. Plenty of towels and linens. Clean throughout. Maintained yard. The only problem which was huge for us: The kitchen was super small. It also housed the stacked washer and dryer. With a large family trying to cook meals in, it was not a good set up.

The seven of us (ages 22mo-68y) enjoyed our stay! A short 15 minute walk to the metro and restaurants. Very quiet in the evenings, even though it is adjacent to a main highway. Remember that it is an old house, but that gives it so much charm! Very clean and comfortable! A great home away from home while seeing the Washington DC sites.

This adorable home was perfect for our group of 7 - 2 adults and 5 kids aged 6-16. The tiny kitchen was well-stocked with whatever we needed for cooking and eating. They made use of every square inch of the space. All appliances worked well and there was also a washer drier combo there as well. The dining table fit us perfectly. The living room had ample, comfortable seating and a smart tv for the bit of downtime that we took advantage of. Beds were very comfortable. More so than any VRBO home we have stayed in. Hubby and I took the upstairs ‘suite’ for our own space. Kids spread out in the bedrooms downstairs and one in the den on the convertible bed. We walked to Ballston Metro daily - about 15 mins. Very convenient. Ballston area had great restaurants and grocery. The park at the end of the road was perfect for running out energy. The neighborhood felt really safe and anyone that walked by was really friendly. The ONLY negative was that the side of the house is on a Main Street with a hospital down the road so lots of ambulances went by. We utilized fans in rooms for some white noise. Our exhaustion after exploring DC all day was usually enough to sleep through it though. Would definitely stay here if coming to the DC area again.

It's clean and in a very convenient area. You are minutes from anywhere you want to be, including the metro. It has everything you need but minimally. The kitchen is a hall space small, but works for a short stay. Overall, I would use the property again. The check in was a breeze. It was easy to get a hold of the property owner and coffee and toiletries were provided. Nice.

The house was as described, clean, and in a great neighborhood. Walking distance to metro & bus stops. Host was communicative and gave clear instructions. They checked in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed.

Our family of 5 booked a few days to visit DC and found this home with many great reviews. Glad we did! Kelly is very responsive and hospitable, answering questions, and providing extra information as needed. The home is cozy and clean. All the beds were comfortable with plenty of linens provided. There was ample space for more guests to sleep if our kids had brought friends. We were within walking distance to beautiful Arlington, but we drove and Uber'd everywhere due to weather. There is road noise, but there were at least 5 fans available for everyone to use at night to drown out the noise. Will stay again if we get another chance to explore DC and Arlington!

Our family enjoyed staying in this home. It had everything we needed. Metro was a few blocks from the house as was a grocery store and a few places to dine. A couple minor touchups and repairs would make this place perfect (front yard could use a little TLC; door knob on bedroom door pulled out but was still usable). Overall was a great place and would stay again.

We stayed here with our family & it was a great space to hang out. The layout was perfect for our 2 families (ours with 2 adults & a teen, and my brother’s with 2 adults & 2 teens). We used a nearby garage to park each day & take the metro to various areas for sight-seeing. No complaints at all- comfortable beds, space for all of us, plenty of sitting room in the main space & everything we needed in the kitchen. Would recommend it to others for sure!

We enjoyed our stay at Kelly's house. The property was clean, comfortable and convenient to DC -- about 10 minutes via 66, which had an on-ramp literally 100 yards from the front door. Property abuts a main street (Glebe Road) so there can be traffic noise, but that was a minor issue. Would recommend it to other families visiting DC area.

We are a family of 9 with 6 adults and 3 children. This place was perfect for our family. We loved the layout of 2 rooms sharing a bathroom downstairs, a private study with a futon for our teen, and the upstairs loft for the young family. Kelly went above and beyond when one of our group accidentally damaged a piece of furniture. She was very understanding and made arrangements to have it replaced. This made our stay worry free. Would definitely stay again!

I stayed at this location with 8 other girls for a "Dirty 30+ Bachlorette" Weekend. We ate and slept at the house, which was perfectly set up for us! The kitchen had all the utensils and cookware we needed for our group, as well as serving ware. The bedrooms and living space accommodated our group without it feeling cramped or too cozy. The location was perfect-- we caught the metro, ran errands, got food-- for anything we wanted to do. Everything was a short walk or drive away! The host was especially helpful when one of the lights went out during the weekend. She dropped a bulb by in less than an hour! She was also super responsive to our messages. AND THE PARKING! We had 5 vehicles parked in the driveway and we probably could've fit at least one more! Outstanding. (:

Great house, comfortable furniture. Rented for three weeks while moving into a nearby home; it was a great refuge, well represented by photos, the one very small issue immediately addressed by owner. Really great location- quiet but near transit and restaurants.

The property was in a great location with plenty of restaurants near by. There was plenty of space for 6 adults to sleep. Kitchen is very small and not very well equipped. There is no grill for cooking outside. There is a very large dead tree right next to the driveway, was very scary during a thunderstorm. Overall a great spot but could use some updates.

The location is perfect for this property when trying to travel on the subway. This is an older property that offers everything that one would need. We were a family of five and we’re well accommodated. Although electrical outlets were limited, one just needs to plan ahead. Hot water never ran out! Gas stove was a plus.🌞👍

This property was in a great spot for access to the Metro, about a 10 minute walk in a safe area. Even coming home at night it felt safe. Some of the bedrooms are loud at night as it is on a main road, but that is to be expected for the walk ability to the Metro. The house was very clean and beds were extremely comfortable. The downstairs bathroom did have some peeling paint but bathroom was clean and plenty of towels and amenities were available. I would stay here again.

Nice location…can walk to almost anywhere you need. Beds are very comfortable and house is very clean. Bath towels are cushy. Furniture is comfortable. Keurig available with coffee and half and half. Would stay again if back in the area. Also, Kelly answered questions promptly during our stay which was helpful.
