BEAUTIFUL HOUSE IN MOUNT VERNON AREA

This place was perfect for our family vacation with six adults and three children.

When I first inquired about the house, I was a little confused about the number of rooms and beds. It has five bedrooms, four upstairs and one downstairs next to the living room. There are two king beds and two queen beds upstairs with two bathrooms. The upstairs master has an attached bathroom and the other three bedrooms share the hall bath. There are five steps down into the living room, and the final bedroom is situated next to the living room. It has a king size bed. That bedroom has a bathroom a few steps away. Also downstairs and next to the bathroom is the laundry room. The washer and dryer are very nice, so we were able to do our clothes while we were there.

The place had everything that we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. There are plenty of extra pillows, blankets, and towels. There is a computer and printer in the living room area, and it came in handy several times.

The dining room table had enough chairs to fit all nine of us at once, which was nice. There was also a table in the kitchen that we used as a buffet setup area for preparing meals. There are also a few bar stools in the kitchen (for seating), as well.

The only complaint (which wasn't a huge problem) was a lack of seating for a big family in the living room. There weren't any recliners, and after a long day of sight seeing, we definitely wanted to kick back and relax. Also, this home is in a residential neighborhood. My previous VRBO stays were not situated as closely to neighbors. While we could hear the neighbors if we were outside, once we were in the house, we couldn't hear anything that was going on outside. There pictures don't really show that.

There was a closet of toys for the kids, and there was a swing set in the backyard for them, as well.

We had no problems, and we will definitely return with our family if we vacation again in the DC area.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was exactly as depicted in the photographs - very clean, nicely furnished and well-maintained. If you are traveling with children, you will be happy to know that there was even a closet with lots of toys and books. In addition, there was a pack & play, a baby gate and a high chair. Carlos greeted us upon our arrival and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. We only had one minor problem (a toilet that would not flush) but he repaired it immediately. The location was very convenient to a huge variety of restaurants, shopping and groceries. It was a short drive to the Huntington Metro Station, and less than 2 miles to Mount Vernon. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay again if we have the opportunity.

Living in England,it was our dream to spend a Christmas in the U.SA and this year our dream came true. The house is perfect for families,so well laid out and plenty of space so we never felt on top of each other. Before we arrived we wondered if we would have to buy any decorations but we walked in to a beautiful,tastefully decorated house with a lovely big tree in the lounge. The kitchen is fantastic,every gadget,utensil you would need,I cooked a lot and had all I needed. We had our two year old grandson with us and anything extra we needed Carlos was kind enough to provide. Our family loved the house and the outside space was a bonus. The location was just right,easy for shopping,Mount Vernon and the metro into DC. Carlos was a perfect host,even bringing us round wine and cookies on Christmas Eve. We would certainly stay here again as finding anywhere else as perfect would be impossible. The house was so clean and all the beds were very comfortable. Thank you Carlos for making our first American Christmas SO special,hopefully it won't be our last!!
