Nice place to stay with your pet.
We loved the property and the location, 5 minutes away from Wegmans(!) and from the turnpike. Easy to get to and easy to get back on the road. Way better than a hotel for sure. Nice fenced in yard for a dog (watch out for the neighbors dog though, he's a sneaky one), which backs up to a public path which was perfect for a morning walk. If I find myself traveling through the DC area again, I'll be staying here if it's available..

Book this home!
Great house to stay with your family. We’re a family of 4 with guy/girl teens. The basement living area was perfect for our son. The neighborhood is quaint and the folks we saw out and about around there were super friendly! The Huntington Metro stop is a short ride from the airport. The walk to the house is about 10 mins, but if you have large luggage like we did, maybe a few mins more. Communicating with Kevin is very easy, and even an FYI while at the house I sent over was replied to within hours. We did a Walmart delivery order to the house for some food supplies while there since we did not utilize a car. I always bring laundry supplies when we travel, but if you do plan on doing any laundry while staying here, add that to your delivery order or bring your own. There is car parking if you bring one. Kreurig machine for coffee is there for use. It may seem far from all of the action in DC, but if you are a traveling family, it really is a great haven to rest. The Metro is a fun ride and you are in the middle of everything with a short ride on it.

Worked Well
This property was what we needed for our large family to trip to the DC area. Kevin was great at communicating just before and during our trip, and we enjoyed having a back deck. The basement, master bedroom, and eating area were all smaller than expected, but it was very nice to have enough spaces for sleeping our teens and to have two full bathrooms in this price range. We liked walking along the greenspace behind the condo just for exercise but also when we went to the Metro.

Was not what we were expecting but was still nice and clean. It is actually a duplex and space is much smaller than what you are lead to believe by pics.

Comfortable and cozy stay
Perfect property for our family getaway! The house is cozy, clean, and comfortable. It is well located, and we were glad to have parking. Quiet neighborhood, near metro and major interchange. Coffee and shopping just a short drive away. Fun to have a game room. Plenty of room to spread out too. Would definitely stay here again. (very picky suggestion - bedside lamps would be a nice addition to your great property)

Such a wonderful place to stay!
Two moms and teens visiting DC staying in a place that was so clean and every detail thought of! It was a max 20 min Uber ride anywhere we went on a charming street. Super safe and quiet. Bonus touches: Lavazza coffee bar and white noise machine, both of which I purchased upon coming home to Denver! Host was so easy to work with and the arcade room was aces! Thank you for having us!

Great Time in DC
I rented the Gathering so that my family and I could visit DC to celebrate my son’s birthday. The place was exactly as described. The water bottles and snacks was a nice touch. My kids enjoyed the games in the basement, that provided hours of entertainment. The location was great, just a short 20 minute drive to DC and less than 10 minutes from National Harbor.

Great home base for visiting the VA/DC area
We used this place as home base. Enjoyed leisurely breakfast in the morning before sightseeing in VA/DC for the day and came back to a clean, comfortable place for evening dinners and family fun / relax time. +Really great little place that's close to the metro to get to the city +Back porch was nice to enjoy the summer evenings +Game room was fun! +House manual PDF was really handy for planning our stay -Shower downstairs was out of order so that made it tricky for party of 5 -Backyard needed the lawn mowed. It would have been great to play some cornhole. Next time!
