Hi Rachel! Thank you so much for the lovely review. I’m thrilled you enjoyed the neighborhood—having the Metro and all those local shops so close by really does make a DC trip much smoother!
It was a joy communicating with you, and I truly appreciate you making the house your home for a few days. We would be absolutely delighted to host you again on your next visit!

Hi Lacy! Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the stay and found the location so convenient—being that close to the Metro and Old Town really does make exploring so much easier!
It was truly a pleasure being your host, and I always aim to be as helpful as possible to ensure my guests have a smooth trip. We would love to have you back again whenever you're visiting the area!
I honestly cannot think of a single bad thing to say about Maggie‘s home. I am a clean freak, and it was super squeaky clean! The house was stocked everything you could think of, especially in the kitchen! You cannot beat the location, either. Just a block or so away from all of the cute cafés, shops, and restaurants. My husband also loved how close it was to the metro station. We will be sure to come back and stay at Maggie‘s home again the next time my son gets weekend liberty time from the Naval Academy!

Hi Jill! I’m honestly blushing reading this—thank you so much for the incredibly kind words. As someone who also takes cleanliness very seriously, it means the world to me that the house met your "clean freak" standards!
I’m so glad the kitchen was well-stocked for you and that the location worked out perfectly for your husband to hop on the Metro. Those local cafes are some of my favorite spots, too! It would be an absolute honor to host you again when your son gets his weekend liberty from the Naval Academy. Please give him our best, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
We had a good stay. The metro was in easy walking distance, which was perfect. The house was very clean and in good condition. Only thing to note is parking is street parking but is free.
Absolutely delightful stay. We were easily able to get settled in. There was everything we needed to cook and clean. A wonderful little back yard to relax in. Quick access to all of Kings St. and bus/train/bike transportation. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Hi Kenai! Thank you so much for the 10/10 recommendation! I’m thrilled that you found the house to be a quiet retreat while still being so close to the energy of King Street—it really is the best of both worlds.
I’m especially glad you were able to settle in easily and make use of the kitchen and that little backyard; it’s one of my favorite spots for a bit of relaxation. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’m so happy the transit options made your stay even smoother. We’d love to have you back again anytime!
We had a wonderful stay. It is a great location for hopping on the metro to DC and exploring Alexandria. The property was clean and well decorated, neighbors were friendly, and the amenities were very nice. Communicating with the host was easy and she was responsive during our stay. The downstairs shower was 6ft tall exactly and drained slowly but there was a second bath upstairs which was better for my tall husband. Both had good hot water and pressure. We enjoyed the record player and games too!

Hi Becca! Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful review. I’m delighted to hear that you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the decor, the friendly neighbors, and even the record player—it’s one of my favorite features of the house, too!
I really appreciate the feedback about the downstairs shower. I'll definitely have my team look into that drain, and I’m so glad the upstairs bath provided a more comfortable "tall-friendly" option for your husband! It's great to know you still had plenty of hot water and good pressure for a relaxing stay.
It was a pleasure communicating with you, and I’m so glad the location made your adventures in DC and Alexandria easy. We’d love to have you back again soon!
Great location for anyone looking to explore DC and Alexandria. We loved the proximity to the King Street Metro (5 min walk) and King Street shops/restaurants (10min walk). The area is safe. The property was clean and provided all the amenities we needed (sheets, towels, kitchen appliances) The parking was street parking but we were able to consistently find a spot right in front of the property. We enjoyed the backyard patio. The property owner was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to all messages. Would definitely stay again!
Maggie made access to this property easy and was in regular communication to make sure I had what I needed. I didn’t need much! The home was clean, comfortable, and very welcoming. Proximity to the metro and amenities made this the perfect home base for my work travels! I hope to be back again on a future trip.
