As your host, I have decorated the house using a modern Scandinavian interior design.

The property was as the pictures indicated. Our needs were met. We loved sitting outside. Although we didn't cook, there was plenty of everything if we wished to. The neighbors were friendly. Our host laid out what was expected of us - very little guessing. Overall, we had a fun time.

Great choice for a DC area vacation
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!

Coffee lovers heaven!
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.

Great alternative for a hotel for a work meeting.
We needed a place to stay for a team meeting. This place was perfect in location and size. The backyard provided a nice table with lights to sit outside and unwind after a long day. The neighborhood is safe and great for walks in for dinner or exercise. Host is very close (next door) and very responsive… lots of good coffee options.
