Close to Old Town Alexandria And All Things DC earns consistent praise for its walkable, convenient location near the Metro and DC sights, comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen with an impressive coffee setup, and a responsive, thoughtful host.
Several reviews report maintenance and cleanliness gaps, especially with yard and deck upkeep and an occasionally musty basement shower curtain. Space and layout can be challenging: the kitchen is small, bathrooms are only upstairs and in the basement, and one upstairs shower feels dated with a low fixture. Overall, expect a comfortable home base with strong essentials, better for travelers who value neighborhood convenience over hotel-style amenities.

We stayed as a family of 4 for 3 days and enjoyed every moment we spent in the house. We had some good memories from Alexandria in the past and decided to stay in the city while taking care of our daughter’s college relocation in DC. Commute was ok and we found the house a nice, comfortable and welcoming place to get back to from a day full of adventures in DC. Kitchen is extraordinarily well stock and ready for you to enjoy cooking and serving. Huge Collection of high quality coffees and equipment to brew your heart out… a nice back yard table to enjoy your morning coffee and evening… clean, spacious and fully furnished bedrooms, two great bathrooms with well stock towels and soaps and shampoo for an entire tribe… sparkling clean sheets.. large screen TV sets in each room… The house was inviting you to stay and enjoy your stay. The neighborhood is calm, clean and great with store fronts and restaurants in walking distance (5mins). The host was/is super nice and helpful and communicative, adding some personal touch to the nice experience that our stay was. We are going back, and I recommend you try it too.

Wonderful in so many ways. So many nice touches. We loved the decor and the thoughtfulness of so many details. We had 3 main issues. First, the upstairs shower is in serious need of updating and felt like a cheap rental apt from my 20s and the shower head was so low my husband and teen boys had to shower in the basement. Second, the grass was so high in the backyard that we couldn’t use the fire pit or play cornhole. Third, the kitchen was difficultly small. One person at a time. And it serves as the passage to the basement. We worked it out, but 6 people in the house would be tough. Just making sure people can make informed decisions. Despite these issues, we greatly enjoyed our stay and Mark’s ability to host well. It was convenient for our DC activities and had great food nearby. The washer and dryer were a huge help. We would consider staying again. It would be nice though if the basement bedroom had some sort of shelf to serve as a nightstand, and had a smaller table in the room. We loved the August Home door lock app. And the variety of coffee was fun. The house felt very clean. The fan on the back deck kept bugs away and made for a pleasant sit even in mid 80s weather in the evening.

The pictures in the VRBO listing do not depict the property as we found it - in sad need of maintenance and renovation. The house if very cramped and small for the number of guests who supposedly could be accommodated. And the back yard and deck were practically unusable. It appeared no yard work had been done for quite some time and the deck was in disarray.The most troubling problem, though, was the inadequacy of the HVAC system to make the house comfortable. The upstairs rooms were very hot while the basement was like a meat locker. The owner clearly recognizes the problem since the main upstairs bedroom has a window AC unit (not depicted in the pictures) and there was a large floor fan blocking the entrance to the other upstairs bedroom. The basement bathroom shower curtain had mold/mildew and the toilet paper holder was broken.While the proximity to Mt. Vernon Avenue and Del Ray in Alexandria is very convenient, the total cost of the VRBO rental, including required fees, totaling almost 1750 for three nights, was excessive, considering the quality of the accommodations.

This house was located in a quiet, beautiful and friendly neighborhood. It took about 15 min to walk to the metro. There were several good restaurants between the metro and the house where we could stop to eat on our way back to the house after a day of sight seeing. Aldi and Walgreen were also very close to the house. We loved the coffee!! Mark was very attentive to our needs and quick to respond. We would most definitely stay in this house again!

Our family agreed this one of the best VRBO's we have experienced. The neighborhood was awesome and access to restaurants and shopping was just a short walk away. Realize that this is an older home with bathrooms on the basement and third level only. This was not a problem even for the 75 year old that had knee replacement completed in January. The home was extremely clean and comfortably furnished. The coffee selection was outstanding. The kitchen contained everything you need to prepare a meal including spices! Linens and towels were great quality. The owner, Mark, has really done an excellent job of providing all you need for an enjoyable stay. We had a minor issue late one evening, Mark was very quick in responding and helping us resolve our issue. We would definitely love to return for another stay!

I hosted out of town guests and we enjoyed the house. Mark was attentive and helped us out with a TV glitch that we had. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, and we had plenty of towels. We used the deck, and enjoyed the neighborhood, but felt that the yard could have been maintained better.

This property was as listed. The location was excellent, the house was clean, the beds were so comfortable and it was just what we needed for adults with kids on a quick family trip for our weekend visit. The only challenge we experienced was a neighbor of the property knocking on the door to inform us her child was asleep and to ask we stop making a sound that was out of our control, due to a door that would stick and needed to be pulled hard to open or slammed to close. We let Mark know right away just to assure that we were not doing this intentionally. We had an issue locking up due to our own mistake and Mark was quick to answer and help us out. We would stay here again.

From the description and pictures on the site, I thought it to be a great rate for the location and the looks of the house. Yes, this house does need a deep cleaning. The heating/AC vents are covered with built up dust. The fridge needs a thorough cleaning as well. The one thing that sold me was the 3 king sized beds. However, 2 of the rooms really could use just a queen size bed. I had the basement bedroom a had difficulty getting in and out of bed without crab-walking along the wall. The downstairs bedroom does not have room for a side table to put your phone, a glass of water - or in my case, my C-pap machine. The beds were comfortable and clean. It is an older homer and could use some updates, but I guess that will come with time. The kitchen has limited space, so plan on one cook if you plan on cooking breakfast, etc. The yard needed to be tended to, the grass was high and the patio with the table and chairs were covered with dead leaves. We wanted to sit out there to chill, but would have needed to use towels to cover the chairs after using a stick to remove the leaves from the back of the chairs. I would love to give this property a higher rating, because it is in a creat neighborhood - close to the Metro, good restaurants and grocery stores. One thing I would like to suggest to the owner - put a hand rail at the top of the stairs to the basement - the steps are steep and it would be helpful to someone needing the assistance of navigating the steps.

Wonderful in so many ways. So many nice touches. We loved the decor and the thoughtfulness of so many details. We had 3 main issues. First, the upstairs shower is in serious need of updating and felt like a cheap rental apt from my 20s and the shower head was so low my husband and teen boys had to shower in the basement. Second, the grass was so high in the backyard that we couldn’t use the fire pit or play cornhole. Third, the kitchen was difficultly small. One person at a time. And it serves as the passage to the basement. We worked it out, but 6 people in the house would be tough. Just making sure people can make informed decisions. Despite these issues, we greatly enjoyed our stay and Mark’s ability to host well. It was convenient for our DC activities and had great food nearby. The washer and dryer were a huge help. We would consider staying again. It would be nice though if the basement bedroom had some sort of shelf to serve as a nightstand, and had a smaller table in the room. We loved the August Home door lock app. And the variety of coffee was fun. The house felt very clean. The fan on the back deck kept bugs away and made for a pleasant sit even in mid 80s weather in the evening.

This property was truly a comfy, cozy stay. With delicious coffee and espressos provided, the dining table was very comfortable to sit around with the six of us and enjoy a tasty breakfast from the Junction Bakery which is a convenient short walk. Mark, the host, was on top of things and was even there when we arrived. The beds were super comfortable after a long day of sightseeing. It is a great location and very quiet. One note, just make sure you can climb stairs rather easily as both bathrooms are either upstairs or downstairs.

Realize that this is an older home with bathrooms on the basement and third level only. This was not a problem even for the 75 year old that had knee replacement completed in January. The home was extremely clean and comfortably furnished. The coffee selection was outstanding. The kitchen contained everything you need to prepare a meal including spices! Linens and towels were great quality. The owner, Mark, has really done an excellent job of providing all you need for an enjoyable stay. We had a minor issue late one evening, Mark was very quick in responding and helping us resolve our issue. We would definitely love to return for another stay!

We had a very nice time. Mark was very accommodating. My big problem was there were only a bathroom upstairs level and in the basement. This was never noted in the description of the property. There is no bathroom on the main level. I had a knee replacement which makes walking upstairs to go to the bathroom every time was inconvenient/painful. My daughter who's 5 months pregnant also had to make that trip upstairs every time. (Pregnant girls need to go to the bathroom a lot.) Honestly, if I knew there wasn't a bathroom on the main level I would never would have booked it. If bathrooms aren't a problem, nice place to book.

What a beautiful home and what an amazing host! We decided to have a girls trip weekend in DC and we settled on staying in the Delray area of Alexandria, Virginia. The area is fantastic and every morning we walked to the local coffee shops for breakfast. The neighborhood is beautiful and the residents are very friendly. Just a few minutes drive from DC. By far one of the highlights of the trip was our host, Mark. He was very friendly and provided timely communication. The check in and check out processes were seamless. It was very clear to all of us that this host knows what he’s doing when it comes to furnishing a residence for out of town guests. Highly recommend booking with this host!

I hosted out of town guests and we enjoyed the house. Mark was attentive and helped us out with a TV glitch that we had. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, and we had plenty of towels. We used the deck, and enjoyed the neighborhood, but felt that the yard could have been maintained better.

This house was located in a quiet, beautiful and friendly neighborhood. It took about 15 min to walk to the metro. There were several good restaurants between the metro and the house where we could stop to eat on our way back to the house after a day of sight seeing. Aldi and Walgreen were also very close to the house. We loved the coffee!! Mark was very attentive to our needs and quick to respond. We would most definitely stay in this house again!

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.

We stayed as a family of 4 for 3 days and enjoyed every moment we spent in the house. We had some good memories from Alexandria in the past and decided to stay in the city while taking care of our daughter’s college relocation in DC. Commute was ok and we found the house a nice, comfortable and welcoming place to get back to from a day full of adventures in DC. Kitchen is extraordinarily well stock and ready for you to enjoy cooking and serving. Huge Collection of high quality coffees and equipment to brew your heart out… a nice back yard table to enjoy your morning coffee and evening… clean, spacious and fully furnished bedrooms, two great bathrooms with well stock towels and soaps and shampoo for an entire tribe… sparkling clean sheets.. large screen TV sets in each room… The house was inviting you to stay and enjoy your stay. The neighborhood is calm, clean and great with store fronts and restaurants in walking distance (5mins). The host was/is super nice and helpful and communicative, adding some personal touch to the nice experience that our stay was. We are going back, and I recommend you try it too.

This property was truly a comfy, cozy stay. With delicious coffee and espressos provided, the dining table was very comfortable to sit around with the six of us and enjoy a tasty breakfast from the Junction Bakery which is a convenient short walk. Mark, the host, was on top of things and was even there when we arrived. The beds were super comfortable after a long day of sightseeing. It is a great location and very quiet. One note, just make sure you can climb stairs rather easily as both bathrooms are either upstairs or downstairs.

Wonderful in so many ways. So many nice touches. We loved the decor and the thoughtfulness of so many details. We had 3 main issues. First, the upstairs shower is in serious need of updating and felt like a cheap rental apt from my 20s and the shower head was so low my husband and teen boys had to shower in the basement. Second, the grass was so high in the backyard that we couldn’t use the fire pit or play cornhole. Third, the kitchen was difficultly small. One person at a time. And it serves as the passage to the basement. We worked it out, but 6 people in the house would be tough. Just making sure people can make informed decisions. Despite these issues, we greatly enjoyed our stay and Mark’s ability to host well. It was convenient for our DC activities and had great food nearby. The washer and dryer were a huge help. We would consider staying again. It would be nice though if the basement bedroom had some sort of shelf to serve as a nightstand, and had a smaller table in the room. We loved the August Home door lock app. And the variety of coffee was fun. The house felt very clean. The fan on the back deck kept bugs away and made for a pleasant sit even in mid 80s weather in the evening.
