Christmas in Alexandria
Below is a message sent to the host on December 28 highlighting some issues and asking for a modest partial refund. As of January 9, no response has been made. I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share some feedback about our recent stay at your property. While the issues we encountered were minor individually, their combined impact made me reconsider our overall experience. Firstly, I understand that mistakes happen, and we appreciate your quick correction of the access code mix-up. However, I messaged you on the Vrbo app and didn't receive a prompt response until after I called. Vrbo suggests using the app for communication during check-in, so I expected a quicker reply. After getting the correct code, we didn't receive any other information about the house. Most rentals in this price range have a guestbook or similar, and the lack of basic details, including wifi and heating instructions, caused some discomfort. This resulted in the upstairs being too warm initially and then too cold. Once we received the instructions, we were able to manage the heating and cooling. We also noticed multiple light bulbs were out. Fortunately, we found some replacements at the house, but we didn't anticipate having to change them ourselves to improve visibility. Lastly, there was a steady stream of ants in the middle bathroom on the second floor. I can provide a video if needed, but this was unfortunate, especially since some family members are uncomfortable dealing with

Great Home!
This was the perfect place for a girls weekend. There was plenty of space for all of us to spread out. Everything was easily walkable to get to.

Perfect Old Town vacation rental
One of our favorite vacation rentals. Incredibly spacious historic home that feels perfect for Old Town. Unbeatable location a block off King Street in the heart of Old Town with easy access to GW Parkway for excursions into the district. The house has high ceilings throughout and endless room. Lovely walled patio was ideal for the arrival of spring weather during our visit. Host was kind and gracious, though in truth we didn’t need to call on her after arrival because the house was well stocked and everything worked with no problem. Will visit again for sure.

Enjoyed it
Very nice. You might warn guests about trip hazards and uneven floors and steps. One oven was very dirty with spilled food.

Great stay
The house is great. The location is excellent; it was exactly the elegant, historic home I was hoping for when we planned our family gathering. The host is very responsive and answers messages quickly. The pictures don't actually do it justice; it's more spacious than the pictures are able to show. We would book it again.

Beautiful Piece of History!
The house is beautifully decorated and is huge! The property manager was super responsive - in the booking process and after we checked in when we had questions. We found out that the house was a part of the Underground Rail Road and we were able to find the tunnel! We stayed two nights and hosted a baby shower here and we loved exploring all the nooks and crannies of the house! It also has two full kitchens with pans, dishes, etc which was super convenient. It is right off King St and has a parking lot about a block away. Absolutely great stay, thank you!
