Great location and house, even better host.
Cannot say enough good things about our stay. Everything was as pictured. The host was very communicative and helpful. Place was immaculately clean upon our arrival. Neighborhood was great with a safe, clean walk to the Potomac Yard metro station. Big thanks to Mark. Highly recommend!

Great location!
Great family vacation. We walked to dinner in the neighborhood and walked the dogs to the park, and walked to the metro to take in the sites, museums, and even a caps game. Close to the airport and a huge shopping center. We recommend the District Biscuit company...very yummy and close by. The neighborhood is very dog friendly and theres a great park nearby for dmall children to play. The house is very quiet with plenty of room for the whole family.

Cute Townhouse in Alexandria
Mark's place in Alexandria was perfect for our family's stay. We were in town for a promotion ceremony at Joint Base Andrews and to do a little DC sightseeing. This house was in a very convenient location. The neighborhood is super cute and walkable. We Ubered to most things but we did walk around the neighborhood and it was scenic and safe with lots of families residing in the area. The beds were super comfy and the place was roomy enough for 4 adults and 2 pre teens. We loved the Swedish décor and we all raved about the Nespresso machine and the nice English teas. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. We had the pleasure of meeting the host and he was so accommodating. I would recommend this VRBO to others looking for a safe low key place to stay near DC. Thanks so much, Mark!

Lovely time with excellent owner support in Alexandria
We had a lovely time in Alexandria with family! This property has a great kitchen stocked with the essentials- just complete by filling up the refrigerator (we went to Mom’s grocery… very close by!) and cook away to your heart’s content! The beds are comfy deep foam mattresses and the two bathrooms-one upstairs, and one in the basement- are close to the bedrooms (3 above and 2 below). The living area has a great table for meal-sharing and family games as well as space for jigsaw puzzles! The owner has decorated the home well. And he is super responsive and supportive. Coffee bar is very well stocked! There are stairs, but they were very doable for the 70 year olds in the family. But we are pretty mobile! Little kids might need help. Tv (there are multiple ones) in the main living area is huge and fabulous for watching sports. Location is so close to everything! Parking was excellent even though it was all on the street and not in a driveway. The showers were wonderful, great pressure and great almost instant hot water! If we ever need a place again in the DC/northern VA AREA again, we will try to rent again!

Great for a group
We were in town for a graduation and Mark's place fit the bill perfectly. Lots of room for the 8 of us, and guests who came for dinner. Turns out the home is 10 minutes from both our daughters' homes. Perfect!

Our stay
I was visiting the Alexandria area for my best friends bachelorette and we could not have found a better place to stay. The location was perfect. The house was clean and spacious and Mark was so kind and generous and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to the DC area
