Newly Remodeled! Near Old Town - 2 metros - Solar Home away from home 1600sq

Property was perfect for our multi-generational family. Well furnished With all necessities. Andrew was terrific to work with.

The house is in a great location, short car ride anywhere you need to go. Very clean. Neighborhood felt safe day and night. Beds are comfortable and showers are very spacious with good water pressure. AC is adjustable to your comfort. Kitchen has all of the necessary basics. Will stay here again!

Overall, the property was well-maintained! Everything you need is provided in the updated modern kitchen-very nice and plentiful dishes, all newer appliances, laundry facilities were great-there were even laundry baskets in every bedroom! The bedrooms are all nice sized with plenty of closet space for clothes and suitcases. Beautiful, large tiled showers, and plenty of linens! Owner is very responsive to messages. Super easy check in and out process!! Be aware that there are steps to get up into the house-we knew this and it was no problem for us, even withal a toddler. It was too far for us to want to walk to the metro, however only a short drive with parking available at the King Street Metro! The only reason I have it 4 stars was that the living area was too small for our family to comfortably hang out in the living room and the furniture in the living room was older and not very comfortable. All in all, it is a great place to stay!!

The host was kind and let us check in about 11 am since we had a redeye flight, but when we arrived there was a worker there tearing up the back concrete patio. He was supposed to be done by 3 o’clock (regular time for checking in) but by the end of our weeklong stay in Alexandria the project was never finished! Our vacation was interrupted with details about the progress of the concrete pad replacement and reasons for why workers hadn’t shown up to finish the work. This was frustrating because we were supposed to be on vacation and not dealing with household projects! The owner gave us $100 for our trouble after we asked him to make it right, but we were not able to use the patio for the entire week! The outdoor patio and backyard was one of the main reasons we chose this VRBO and this was not even accessible until day 3 of our stay. On day 3, the owner placed a tarp over the dirt and put a table with chairs out there for us to use but there were still stacks of concrete and project materials taking up the backyard space. The barbecue and outdoor couches were not able to be used all week. We never ended up being able to use the backyard the way that it was displayed in the VRBO pictures. And we really could’ve used the patio considering the weather was beautiful and we were walking a lot each day to tour DC. The patio situation wouldn’t have been so bad if the house had a relaxing place to sit after walking 7 miles each day. The property has one chair and one aging couch that sinks in the middle which is uncomfortable and awkward for lounging with our adult-sized teens. We tried to watch one episode on Netflix and that was the last time our family spent time together in the front room trying to relax because it was just so uncomfortable. Two days when we arrived back at the property, police were present and that made us feel very uncomfortable. Finally, we were not as close to downtown Alexandria as we had hoped. We had to walk down very busy streets and cross two busy highway off-ramps. The walk is all uphill from downtown Alexandria back. Upon arrival, the property was very clean and made us feel safe in regards to staying at a VRBO during current public health concerns. Our teenagers enjoyed each having their own queen size bed. The kitchen is spacious and has a massive refrigerator. It was nice to be able to do a load of laundry when we needed to. And our teenagers found it nice to find lamps with USB and USBC ports for their electronics.
