I am a coffee fanatic so I enjoy providing free whole bean coffee and Nespresso pods.
Message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Charming neighborhood. Many people walk, run, or walk their dogs in the neighborhood. Nearby neighbors are extremely friendly....feel free to say hello to any of the neighbors.
You can choose to use either the August Home Smart Lock or a key that is located in a lockbox by the front door.
This is a three story house situated in an adorable neighborhood in Alexandria called DelRay. It is a three story house with family room, dining room and kitchen on the main floor. The second floor has two bedrooms and a full bath with shower and tub. The basement has one bedroom, a full bath with shower and tub and a laundry room.

One or two people can also sleep in the living room. The BoConcept L shaped sofa is quite large and can accomodate someone who wants to sleep on a firm sofa. There is also an inflatable Serta mattress with a built in air pump that can be inflated in just a few minutes that can sleep one or two people.

There is a large backyard and a deck with pergola that has a gorgeous teak dining table with stylish outdoor chairs. There is a gas grill so you can grill steaks or some fresh seafood.

For parents with infants, there is a baby crib, a Pack 'n Play, a high chair, and one stair gate.
Easy access to DC, Old Town Alexandria and the Braddock Road Metro Station. Ample street parking right in front of house. 15 minute walk or 3 minute car ride to Braddock Road Metro station. Scooter and bike rentals are located on Mount Vernon Avenue only two blocks from the house.

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.

Great location with large yard

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.

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.

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.
