Amazing neighborhood! Enjoyed the cottage.
The cottage is exactly as described. There is convertible bed in the living room area on the entry level that fits two comfortably. I found it to be plenty comfortable. Once I set up the bed, I left it that way, rather than folding it up during the day. The bathroom is also on the entry level. The kitchen/eating area is accessed by going down a really cool staircase that also leads to the back yard walkout. I’ve stayed in several hotels in the area and I enjoyed this stay more than any of them. Parking was a breeze, but I mostly walked. It's just short of a mile to get to Old Town, but the walk is beautiful. Parking at most hotels in the Alexandria area is $40 per night, free parking was a big plus. While the host lives in the main house, the cottage provides complete privacy. I only met Jack when I stupidly locked myself out and he quickly saved the day. All things considered, I had a great trip and enjoyed staying at the cottage and I’ll probably stay there again on a future trip.

Excellent place to stay in Alexandria
Really enjoyed our 3 week stay. Host (Jack) was very hospitable and responsive during our stay. Location of “The Cottage” is convenient to the Metro (about 10-15 walk to either Braddock or King Street/Old Town Stations”) through pretty residential areas. Especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen. Would, without hesitation, stay at The Cottage again if visiting the DC area.

Cozy cottage
The cottage was incredibly cozy and parking was easy. It was attached to the owners home but with good privacy. We did most of our activities out of the house but it was very convenient and there are some amazing food places close, my personal favorite being mias Italian kitchen. Although there is no washer and dryer so keep that in mind. Overall great stay just not a lot of space for bags and unpacking but other than that 10/10!!

No Washer and Dryer? Indeed, there is. As stated, the Cottage has it's own Laundry Room (next door) ... 3 steps away from the Cottage. Helpful hints inside of the Cottage, states: Use Key with Purple Top to open Laundry room. I guess you did not read that. Communication between myself and guests are sooo important. So easy to text or phone me to ask "ANY" questions. Other than missing the Laundry Room, I am so happy you had a GOOD stay. Have a GOOD Rest of the Summer!

Great Neighborhood, Reasonably Priced, Limited Space
The neighborhood has a great feel of family, safety and hospitality. Anytime I asked someone on the street for directions, he/she was authentically cordial and welcoming. The price is the primary reason for choosing to stay here. It allowed me to do more with my grandsons than the cost of other places. Space is quite limited. The second bed was a blow up mattress on the kitchen floor. The property manager was a real plus. He was inviting, quickly responsive to the request for dishrags, called to make sure we had what we needed. I do not remember seeing a laundry, The wifi was easily accessible and a great benefit. The wooden stairs to the kitchen below were quite lovely. I would have liked to have been able to plug in my three-prong power cord to the plug at the kitchen table. However I was delighted to get to attend Bible class Wednesday night at the church of Christ on the route to the Metro!

It was lovely hosting you and Grandchildren and I am happy that all of you were able to do all you came to do. Not being able to plug in your three (3) prong power cord? I have no idea as to why not? Three prong plugs are throughout the Cottage. Not remembering a Laundry? As stated in the "Welcome Guide" ... Full Laundry facility (Washer/Dryer/Laundry Basket/Detergent/Dryer Sheets and more are only a step away (next door). Remember, I explained the use of the key with the Purple Top? Also, I am always available to my Guests. A simple text or phone call will easily get my attention. God Bless!

I was in town to pack up my son at college and found the owner super responsive and accommodating. As luck would have it the water heater died during our stay but Jack had it replaced and operational the same day he was notified. That level of service is unheard of and much appreciated as we didn't miss out on anything. Super clean space with everything we could need. Thanks Jack for an awesome stay!

Unexpected
Cute cottage but was unclean and mold in air-conditioning units and shower. Wasn't super excited to sleep on a blow up in the downstairs kitchen. Aware it was a blow up but should not say accommodates 4.
Aufenthalt von 2 Nächten im April 2023
Antwort von VrboOwner am 1. Aug. 2023
Very surprised at your review/comments about A/C. Mold? Nope! We take special care in scrubbing down our shower and I personally clean our A/C's. Therefore, I know for a fact ... NO MOLD! Secondly, as you stated ... YOU were aware of us supplying a very comfortable AERO Mattress with its own pump (no complaints from previous guests), therefore, I do not know where you wanted to go with this comment. Also, not suited for 4? What does our description say? Perfectly suited for 2 and I reached out to you beforehand letting you know that we can accommodate 4, but it would be tight! Let's just say, our AirBnB didn't suit your needs, but has for many others. Wishing you the best! First off, I would like to THANK YOU for your feedback on your visit to the Cottage. We can only address specific issues brought to our attention by our guests. So, again, we thank you. We take great pride in hosting and take feedback like yours very seriously. Also, I see that the Cottage is always well maintained, making sure it is cleaned thoroughly after each guest checks out. We go as far as wiping down (sanitizing) remotes; handrails; etc. In closing, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Spring Break Visit
This rental was clean and cozy. The space was perfect for a short visit where we needed a place to rest our bodies. The kitchen was adequately furnished and banana bread was waiting for us on the counter. In addition, there was a coffee maker with coffee, cream, and sugar. The bathroom included all the essentials: towels, soap, shampoo, and tp. The place is small, but it was all we needed. Jack was easy to communicate with for the booking and for checkout.

"King" bed is two TWIN BEDS pushed together
I was supposed to understand from the listing that this trundle bed that converts to a king is actually two twins pushed together. My husband and I didn't want to spend our weekend getaway sleeping across two twin beds that don't connect and aren't one solid mattress so we left. Owner did not refund and vrbo backed the owner.
Aufenthalt von 2 Nächten im Januar 2023
Antwort von VrboOwner am 1. Aug. 2023
All I can say is "Wow"! This is a very disappointing review. If you look at the review below this one, "Frank", you will see that I work with our guests and make sure they are happy. Secondly, I cannot be responsible for any guest that does not read the description, fully. For now, there is a pop-up trundle, which is very comfortable. You simply pull out the pop-up and it connects with the stationery part of the bed. Two twin mattresses side by side = King bed. I KNOW how important it is to get a GOODNIGHT's sleep. This is why we purchased this particular bed. These guests arrived LATE and was probably in a grouchy mood and didn't even "try" the bed. Instead of them contacting me (I would have gladly assisted) to ease any concerns, they immediately left. They sent me a message saying they had departed. I contacted them and did indeed offer a refund. I did not hear back. I called VRBO and explained what had happened, so this could be documented. I guess their retaliation to me was to leave the HEAT ON so high that it set the SMOKE DETECTOR off. I am not angry at them. I just said to myself that there are some people that a host simply cannot work with. In summary ... we take any feedback seriously and are always looking for ways to improve a guests' stay. Even though there is NOTHING wrong with the current bed, we had on order for two months, a new bed (we are very excited about this one). It's very expensive Queen size 1-2-3 sofa with the best mattress. I tested it several times, along with others and we all agree, all should have a great night's sleep and ... it is so easy to convert into a bed. Communication is always key to any host. Again, we take hosting seriously. This is why we are a PREMIER HOST and have been hosting for about 10+ years. If you are not happy. We are not happy!

Perfect for two
Everything about this location is great for two. It’s small but very cozy and clean. Jack is a top tier property manager and even though we had to cut out early, let me bank my unused nights for a future visit. We were on a work trip with 4 of us, with a 5th on the way to cover a sick worker, so in the end it was too small for our group at no fault of Jack. Just the way the cards fell. I will be back with the Mrs. at some point to relax and enjoy this quiet getaway in a vacation setting. Looking forward to it!

Thanks, Frank. It would nice to work with you and even though you had more people that the Cottage could accommodate, in the end, you communicated and we worked out something we ended up something that would appease you.

A mile from old town colonial Alexandria, train station, Trader Joe’s. Small space to hangout for more than 2, but good enough for resting from daily tours around DC.

I traveled with my sister and my two young, adult boys. We have all grown up camping and cabining together, so this space was the perfect place for us to land each evening after visiting DC each day. The metro is a short walk from this quiet, safe neighborhood. Felt comfortable my entire stay & we were so happily surprised by waters and muffins. That kind gesture allowed our first morning there to start on a great note. Being able to do laundry helped us pack light.

I stayed for 6 nights while visiting family in the area. Jack was very accommodating and an excellent host. Shortly after arriving he stopped by to meet and make sure I had everything I needed. I found The Cottage to be very comfortable, very clean and nicely furnished and decorated. Very pretty and quiet neighborhood, conveniently located and walking distance to Old Town. This was MUCH nicer than staying in one of the hotels in the area. This was my first VRBO experience. Very easy to reserve and check in. Access is very easy with parking right out front. Very easy to communicate with Jack by e-mail before, during and after my stay. For my next visit to Alexandria this will be my first choice. I highly recommend.

Do NOT tell anybody about this place or none of us who have ever stayed here up until now will ever be able to get a reservation! This is the cutest cottage ever. Perfect for two. Honestly, I never made it to the kitchen, my Husband did though. I loved staring out the window at the beautiful back yard. I’m a HUGE fan of gargoyles. The front garden is beautiful too. Jack, being the perfect host, and me, being the most IMPERFECT of guests, even came and unlocked the doors when I left the lee inside JUST as I heard the click of the door behind me. I love this cottage. I love Jack’s Art (BTW Jack I LOVE St Marteen!),, the bed was more than comfortable, the neighborhood beautiful. What more can you ask for? I can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful, cozy cottage that was perfect for us!! We miss it already!
First of all, the owner, Jack, is absolutely amazing....we had a redeye flight and we were greeted with muffins and juice after a long flight. He is there for you and can answer all questions. Additionally, he has two dogs who give us dog lovers lots of love! The cottage is clean and cozy....the kitchen has EVERYTHING you need for cooking. Finally, the backyard is peaceful and calm with the white lights and candles....perfect for sipping wine after a day in the city. We were lucky enough to have snow during our stay so we really enjoyed sitting outside and watching the snow/rain....we are from Southern California so we love anything other than sun! Also, the neighborhood is GORGEOUS....we took several walks just looking at the beautiful homes. You will not go wrong when you book this perfect cottage!! We LOVED it!!!!

Our host, Jack, was a great guy. We loved his dogs. The neighborhood was quiet. I would suggest somewhat that if you stay that you make certain that you are not parallel-parking challenged. Since the kitchen is downstairs make certain that stairs will not be an issue. Jack was indispensable in the raising of the bed. J & L

Loved the location and the host
The location was in a great neighborhood within a mile of historic downtown - easily walked or reached via Uber. Once downtown the King St. trolley offered free transportation in old downtown. Jack was very responsive to our questions and needs. He went the extra mile to make sure our stay was comfortable, including home baked biscotti upon our arrival. The cottage was small but met our needs. You do need to be able navigate some steep, narrow stairs leading to the kitchen area. Day bed that folds out to be a queen is a little awkward but comfortable. We definitely slept well. Tip for people going into Wash. DC - use the water taxi - nice relaxing way to get into the city and lets you off at the Wharf, less than a mile from the National Mall. You may want to consider the walking tour through the visitors center in Alexandria lots of good information. We were able to explore both Alexandria and Wash. DC without a car, using Amtrack to get there, Uber to get to the cottage and downtown, the trolley on King St, the water taxi to Wash DC and a tour bus in DC (Big Bus was good but would recommend staying on the bus for the entire tour first then getting off to see something - long wait between buses). Also no grocery stores within walking distance but Uber worked well there.

It always a pleasure to host nice/appreciative guests. The Day bed is actually a King. We also provide an extra overlay (padding) for the bed to make it even more comfortable, for our guests. Our Cottage was built in 1937 and still maintains a lot of its original charm, i.e., steps, etc. However, the Cottage has been fully updated. There is a set of steps that leads down to the kitchen and patio areas, 'with handrails' and 'grippers' on the steps. The illusion of them being steep is merely the high ceiling in the area of the steps, which provides head room when descending. Our Cottage is unique and historical. Some things we would change, others we keep to maintain its charm. Thanks for providing your good tips about traveling around the area. You did more than I have done in the short while you were here :) Thanks again for being good guests.
