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.

Our church leadership team had a weekend retreat at this property. The house was cozy and met our needs well. Updated appliances and TVs. Needed a little attention to detail regarding cleanliness, but was an overall excellent stay...would definitely stay again.

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.

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.

Perfect Accommodation for Family

Our family stayed here for 6 nights to attend our granddaughter’s graduation at American University, and associated celebrations nearby. 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.

Wonderful place to stay

This house was located in a quiet, beautiful and friendly neighborhood. It took about 15 min to walk to the metro. There were several good restaurants between the metro and the house where we could stop to eat on our way back to the house after a day of sight seeing. Aldi and Walgreen were also very close to the house. We loved the coffee!! Mark was very attentive to our needs and quick to respond. We would most definitely stay in this house again!

Thanksgiving Stay

Our visit to our daughter’s home in Alexandria for theThanksgiving holiday was made super special by our stay at Mark’s house. Mark made the processes of check in and out easy and was very attentive during our stay. The house was roomy and well equipped for our adult family and in a friendly, well kept neighborhood with ample street parking. Having a fenced in backyard for our small dogs was extremely convenient. We would definitely like to stay at Mark’s again on future visits to Alexandria.

Clean and Comfortable in Alexandria

Our family loved our stay at this house; it was located conveniently close to restaurants and stores, and was a short 15 minute walk from Braddock Station. We visited all the DC monuments and museums during our stay, and really appreciated how well outfitted this house was. It had comfortable beds, furniture, kitchen appliances, and plenty of awesome coffee that we took advantage of each morning. Highly recommend this for families visiting DC that want to be nearby but still in a family friendly, quiet neighborhood. We walked to dinner at local restaurants most nights and really enjoyed the local spots.
