Love This Place

Review Submitted: November 3, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
This is a great place to stay. Jack & Nyla are wonderful hosts and their cottage has everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I guess the greatest thing that can be said in a review is that I plan on staying there again in the not too distance future.

Had a wonderful week in the "Cottage" Very close to everything. Did day trips everyday and enjoyed the wonderful garden/patio in the evening after a day of walking and sightseeing.
Very clean, plenty of parking, owner very helpful and makes some great scones.
Would highly recommend "the cottage"

Thanks, Jack, for a wonderful stay!

Ken&Anne San Diego, Californai
Review Submitted: August 9, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
Our stay was all we had anticipated, and more! Jack greeted us and showed us around this charming cottage and we were so impressed with the amenities......from incidentals such as cotton balls and Q-tips in the bathroom to a well stocked pantry - right down to spices and hot chocolate! Jack had provided us with a pitcher of orange juice, yogurt, English muffins, and jelly for our first day’s breakfast, but it lasted us several days. There was even a container of half-&-half to go with our coffee!

The yard is quiet, except for the song of birds, and we enjoyed relaxing there, enjoying the beautiful flowers and plants. The convenience of being able to prepare our own breakfast every morning, lunch a few times, and even dinner one night when were tired of restaurant food is priceless.

The neighborhood is middle-class, immaculate and very safe. It was a peasant walk to the Metro, but next time, we’ll take the bus to the King Street station. It was great walking there in the morning, but after sightseeing all day long in the August heat, we opted to take a bus back to the corner stop. There is only 3 hour, on street parking within a half-mile of the Metro station.

What more can we say.......if we go back to the DC area again, and we probably will, we’ll definitely stay at “Jack’s Cottage” !!
Owner's Response: ALL DAY Street parking is available off the main street, which leads to the Metro. Additionally, you can drive 12 minutes to Huntington Metro Station and park your car there ALL DAY for $4.95 (there over 3,100 parking spaces!)

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!

Review Submitted: July 20, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
My wife and I were very impressed with the cottage. This place is very clean and neat. The kitchen has everything you will need to prepare meals. The landscaping is beautiful. The weber BBQ grill out on the patio is in excellent condition.

I cannot say enough about our host, Jack. He is an excellent host. Get ready to be spoiled at the cottage!

The King and Braddock Street metro stations are about 3/4 miles from the cottage, so prepare to walk a bit. We felt very safe walking to the metro station in this upscale neighborhood.

We rented a car to get around town. Parking in front
of the cottage was never a problem for our entire stay.

We highly recommend this property as it is an excellent value for vacation or a short get-a-way.

Great location, great price, great host

Review Submitted: July 3, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The title says it all. This is a convenient spot in Alexandria--parking right out front of the home every time. I was traveling with two little ones, so we used the gorgeous yard like an extra room. We grilled out and took meals on the patio several times. My toddler loved exploring the grounds as well. Upscale and safe neighborhood.

We had a great time in the area, making it to the National Zoo, USS Barry, National Cathedral, National Arboretum, National Botanic Garden, Mt. Vernon . . . all very kid-friendly outings. Vacations in DC can be cheap since so many attractions are free! The park around the corner from the house was fabulous--had toddler and elementary play areas and a sand pit with toys.

What truly makes this different from so many other rental properties is the owner. He is service-oriented and friendly, and was interested in making our stay wonderful. Because he is right next door, we were able to call on him with questions. Unlike other properties where you are dealing with an absentee owner or a rental company, here you have a personal touch.

The description is accurate--the cottage is tidy and updated, and every amenity imaginable can be found. And let's face it, the price cannot be beat. I would recommend this place to anyone. . . unless you are booking the same week as my return ;)
