Easy check in, clean house, very responsive hosts, great vibes all around. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend for people booking with bigger groups!

We enjoyed our stay at SoJourn. The house sits on a corner lot. There is personal parking in front and back of unit which is great! The house is very spacious and clean. Kitchen and bathrooms were clean and modern. Would definitely book again. Antoine was very attentive and responsive with any questions or addressing our needs.

The neighbor's dogs were somewhat friendly, but it was still a risk. The uncovered outlet seemed like a hazard.
“What a great property” is exactly what I thought when I arrived at this home. Everything what is exactly has described on the site. There was more than enough space for my family and we didn’t feel like were sleeping on top of each other. There were plenty on dishes for cooking and very clean. My and I truly enjoyed our stay. Definitely book if you will be in the VA area.
We were in town for my daughter's graduation from Old Dominion. The neighborhood was great, but for us, just a little too far from our daughter's apartment.
