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!

Host is available and responsive when needed. He goes out of his way to accommodate guests. The neighborhood is very walk-able and a quick drive to Old Town Alexandria

We enjoyed our stay and found the accommodations to be excellent. It was a very good location and close to Wahington DC. The property was as described and was very clean. It had everything we needed and we would recommend.

Mark is an excellent host. Unit is as advertised except for the exterior photo. It is clean and comfortable and we'd stay there again in a heartbeat. Which is a promise since we vist Alexandria a lot for family "stuff." A+

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.

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.

Wonderful house. Very convenient to DC! Loved that each bedroom had a king bed. Very clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend to others.

Great host, great location, everything we needed!

House was adorable. Beds were so comfortable. Check in was super easy and the house is equipped with everything you need.

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!

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!

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.

The area is jamb packed with restaurants easily within walking distance. The rental comes with a great selection of coffee.

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.

Mark was a great host and the place in Alexandria worked out very well. Thanks very much.

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!

We booked this place to be close to shops and Resturants for a staycation. The place was well equipped with everything needed to have a great girls weekend. We loved looking at the holiday lights around the neighborhood as well. Really enjoyed the place and had a great weekend away. Would recommend this place to stay again.

We had a wonderful stay in Alexandria. Everything was accurate to listing. Beds were comfortable and plenty of room for everyone to spread out after long days in DC. Nespresso machine and pods were an added bonus to kick start out mornings. Would recommend a stay here. Close to lots of restaurants.

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.

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.

Stayed for two nights as we were in town for my nephew’s wedding. We walked from the house to a lovely little Italian spot, Bella Napoli. The house itself was comfortable, clean, and as described. Would definitely stay again! Thanks Mark!

Great communication. Super convenient in lovely area close to everything.

This home was just what we needed for a short stay in the DC area. Thanks!

The neighborhood was safe to the point my family and I could walk to near by restaurants, coffee shops, and drug stores. Neighbors were friendly and the Vrbo was inviting. Additionally, the property manager was helpful and accommodating regarding anything we needed. We would stay again.

Great (if short) trip to DC! Thank you for providing a nice, comfortable place to land. 😄

Home is located in a quiet family neighborhood that has plenty of on street parking. We used the Metro (which was a short walk) to get around DC. House was clean and beds are comfy. Coffee bar was a nice touch! Thanks Mark, we would definitely rent from you again!

We stayed here while dropping off our son at American University. Very cute location, close to Alexandria and easy drive to AU. I grew up in Alexandria, so appreciated the location and how easy it was to visit my old haunts and friends who live in the area. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of room for all of us. Had my parents per for dinner on evening and kitchen had all I needed to make a nice meal. Enjoyable stay!

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.

From check in to our last day, Mark was accommodating and very kind. He helped give some phone directions to navigate our nations capital and made sure the home was stocked with everything my family and I needed. The home was beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. I can t say enough good things about our experience. Thank you Mark!

Good place to stay with family for sightseeing in DC

We really enjoyed our stay here. Located in a quiet neighborhood and proximal to many restaurants and cafes. I would recommend if you are looking for a place that is family-friendly.

We had a very brief but wonderful stay at Mark’s house for a staycation; our dogs loved the big yard and the master bed was very comfortable. It’s in a great and very walkable location. We booked on short notice and were very happy with the accommodations.
