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.

We had a very brief but wonderful stay at Mark’s house for a staycation; our dogs loved the big yard and the master bed was very comfortable. It’s in a great and very walkable location. We booked on short notice and were very happy with the accommodations.
