We had a wonderful one-night stay in Alexandria, VA. The home was charming, comfortable, and in a great location- perfect for exploring the area. The beds were very comfortable, and the home was well equipped with everything we needed for a short stay. Communication with the hosts was excellent from start to finish, making everything smooth and easy. We only wish we could have stayed longer, and we would absolutely book again in the future!

We had a lovely stay at the Monroe. The check in process was easy and the host was very communicative. Off street parking for two cars was nice. It was nicely furnished and well appointed, although it could do with some general upkeep. There were good restaurants in walking distance in Del Ray.

Charming House for Washington DC Visit

We enjoyed the comforts and charm of The Monroe during our long weekend. A peaceful suburban atmosphere with easy access to the Washington sites by public transport. It was restful to sit on the pleasant patio after our days out in the big city. Highly recommend.

Everything was nice and in good condition we had a slight issue upon arrival but we contacted out hosts. They replied in a timely manner and everything was taken care of The amenities were very nice The location was good for the Metro. They could have used more privacy shades in the downstairs. But it was ok. The fireplace was nice as it got a bit chilly outside. Very clean and comfortable.

Quiet historical house in Alexandria

The property was beautifully presented and we loved the historical features and decoration of the house. The Metro was conveniently close - a short walk which made it very easy to get around Washington. The bottle of wine to welcome us was much appreciated. A quiet area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

Cozy little house

The pictures are accurate, as is the description of the property. Its a small house with a nice backyard. The beds were comfortable and extremely walkable area (best part). Minor issues with the place and the landlords were very quick to respond. Only negative is that you dont have access to the washer/dryer

Cozy house

Relatively nice place. Small rooms which is typical for the neighborhood. Very clean. Neighborhood is quiet. House next door is pretty sketchy (two abandoned cars in the driveway.) Landscape needs attention as the bushes almost obscured the front door. Hosts were very responsive.

Charming Property!

We stayed at this beautiful home for 5 nights while we saw the sights in Washington DC. It was an easy 20 minute drive to DC and staying in this quiet Alexandria neighborhood was a perfect way to get away from the bustling city. The house is as listed and the pictures accurately represent the size and layout. We booked it based on the charm of the decor and it did not disappoint. The home was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Parking was super easy and, although we didn’t have much time to spend there, the outdoor space was nice. The property owners were very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a place to stay in the DC/Alexandria area.
