A home away from home!

My family an I (including our dog) had a wonderful week at this lovely house in a wonderful location. The host provided everything we needed to enjoy our stay, and communicated very well with us from booking to checkout.

Great location for a nice get away!

We had a lovely stay here. The neighborhood was safe and within walking distance to a shopping center. Easy access to DC where there is alot to do! Our family of 4 were very comfortable. Big backyard, and although we didn’t bring our dog, the home is very pet friendly. We did have an ant issue, which the host immediately took care with a visit from pest control and it subsided almost immediately. We are looking forward to our next stay here and cant wait to come back!

Cute place could be great with much more work

We had a big issue with bugs in the kitchen during our stay and had to leave after a night because it didn’t feel sanitary enough for our young family there.The host I believe has good intentions; a refund seems to be going thru and she was apologetic and had tried to get the property ready for guests. Since it is a vintage house it is probably very hard to seal completely. I hope the hosts can take major steps to de-bug the property and seal it off because it is in a great location and has a lot of potential.It did really hurt our trip to have to leave, I wish it had worked out.

Wonderful location!

We had a nice time renting Micaela’s home. Thank you for allowing our dog to stay as well, she enjoyed the fenced in backyard. The home was in a really nice, very walkable neighborhood convenient (Dunkin and grocery store right down street) to many landmarks. The master bed was really comfy. The kitchen had everything (coffee maker didn’t work for us but we just hopped down to Dunkin) but home could have used a thorough cleaning (we’re not clean freaks either so we’re not being overly picky). Just being honest.

Expecting more!

We are locals that were having some work done in our house and needed a place to stay for a week. New Alexandria is a quaint neighborhood that is perfectly located near our home and walking distance to restaurants, groceries and shops. What a surprise to find this property in need of a deep cleaning and some TLC. I am sure that at one time this little cottage was a gem but now it is worn and tired and is in need of repairs and attention.
