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!
Great location, very clean, super comfortable beds, plenty of towels, well equipped kitchen, tv with Netflix, there were some board games too. There is a nice deck and backyard with a grill (we did not have time to use but looked great!) Host is so friendly, welcoming and very quick in responding to messages. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends/family.
We were out to visit family and booked this place to stay close to them. Super convenient location, not too far from the metro, Del Ray, and Old Town. The property is very nicely decorated and comfortable. Thanks for the stay!
The house was very clean and comfortable. It was located in a great neighborhood and within walking distance to the metro station. We enjoyed our stay very much.
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.
Lovely and peaceful place to stay. Very convenient to all museums and DC area. Close to restaurants that are within walking distances. Home is very clean and very comfortable. Will stay again very soon.
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.
This property was very clean and was located in a great spot. Close to Metro center and great restaurants. Laurie and Collin are great hosts and was willing to help with anything we needed on our stay. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family. We enjoyed our visit and will be back soon.
Adorable house in walkable historic Alexandria close to Metro
Perfect location and adorable house that met our family needs! Walkable distance to metro and historic Alexandria. Hosts were attentive to all details and our stay was so comfortable and relaxing after busy days exploring DC. We wouldn’t change a thing!
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.
The property was very clean. It was local to many restaurants and the metro, all within a short walk. We were able to get in touch with the owners very easily. We would re t it again.
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.
Our Christmas at The Monroe House was wonderful. Check in was easy, place was very clean, no problem with parking, house was cute and decorated for the holiday. Perfect! The host were there if we needed them, but we didn't. A wonderful Christmas holiday for our family.
I have traveled all over the world and this little cottage , was perfectly decorated for our trip to Washington DC. It was close but not too close to the city . Our group enjoyed the backyard just as much as the house for the kids to play . Great Communication from start to check out!!! Highly recommend this property!! Perfect 5 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💙🇺🇸❤️ home away from home 🏡
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
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.
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.
