Perfect Accommodation for Family

Our family stayed here for 6 nights to attend our granddaughter’s graduation at American University, and associated celebrations nearby. It was a very well appointed, comfortable, and well located home, with excellent communication from our host whenever we had any questions or concerns. We would highly recommend it.

Family Washington DC trip

We had a wonderful stay in Alexandria. Everything was accurate to listing. Beds were comfortable and plenty of room for everyone to spread out after long days in DC. Nespresso machine and pods were an added bonus to kick start out mornings. Would recommend a stay here. Close to lots of restaurants.

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.

Great Home in a Great Neighborhood

Mark's duplex is a fantastic stay for anyone looking for a long-term stay in a walkable, friendly neighborhood - especially if you have a dog! Communication about access and the location was excellent and proactive. The yard was a great bonus for our dog to run around and enjoy greeting all of the neighbors. We would definitely stay here again!
