Convenient and comfortable

The check in process was very easy and the instructions were accurate. Although we did not eat meals there, it was very well equipped for cooking and even had condiments for guests. Loved the screened-in porch. Very comfortable bed also.

Clean, safe, convenient, attractive

I had to give this place five stars even though the description said full kitchen, which we were expecting to use, but it ended up not having a stove or oven, only a microwave. For most people that may be all that’s needed, and, if, so, everything else was ideal. I do think the listing description should be changed, however!

Great location! Minutes from GMU!

We came in for family weekend and brought our dog. We wanted to be near GMU and somewhere the dog would be comfortable. This was perfect. Only a few minutes from GMU and quiet. We will keep this in mind for future trips.

We can't recommend highly enough. The basement unit was phenomenal- very clean, beautifully decorated and furnished. Burke was a wonderful host and very responsive and kind. The location is fantastic and easy to get to many sights. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location

The basement apartment was great for our needs, we are older and visiting our grandkids. The screen in patio was a great place to have a quiet cup of coffee. The bed was VERY comfortable, the furniture was too. It came in handy to use the washer and dryer. Off street parking.

Great stay in Fairfax

My daughter is relocating to Fairfax and we used Burke’s place as home base while apartment hunting. This nicely decorated, roomy space had everything we needed and communication with the host was always prompt and helpful. Close to George Mason University, shopping, and old town Fairfax, the location worked well too. It was all around a great stay!

Great location

We stayed at this location to go to a concert at Eagle Bank Arena. It was only a five minute drive to the venue. It is in a quiet residential neighborhood with easy access to stores for supplies. The basement area was clean and had all that we needed. As a mother traveling with two teenage girls, I felt very safe at this location.

Visit to Mom & Dad

I had a wonderful stay. I had a very busy three week visit with my elderly parents. Burke and Sarah's quiet and restful home was sort of a haven at then end of some long days! It was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. Their home is located in quiet and convenient neighborhood. Highly recommend!!

Visiting new granddaughter

My first visit to see my new granddaughter and the new parents were worried about my big golden retriever being around the baby. The unit was neat and clean and the bed was very comfy. It’s in a nice quiet neighborhood and I would stay there again and recommend it to those visiting the area. The space is of course dog friendly.

Lovely apartment.

I found this to be a lovely apartment, very spacious, tidy, and well-equipped. Burke and Sarah were very responsive when I needed something a few times and were solicitous and attentive to how it was going. And the location is very convenient to George Mason University. Thanks for a good stay, Burke and Sarah.

Sparkling Clean and Spacious

We had a great stay in this basement suite. Unlike many basement accommodations, this one was dry, airy and full of natural light. The bed is super comfortable, the kitchen is well appointed, and it's well stocked with toys, books, and extra linens should you need them. Keep in mind that it is the basement with a family living above, so while you might hear footsteps or murmuring from above, it is not disruptive. The neighborhood is great. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Fantastic apt just by GMU

Stayed here for 3 nights with my partner and his 81 year old mother while we attended graduation events at GMU. This apartment is perfect, and the hosts have thoughtfully provided just about anything a family could need for a comfortable stay--books, games, lots of extra blankets and pillows, even a guitar! The bedroom connects to the bathroom, which also can be entered from the living space, which is great for guests who might be sleeping on one of the sofa beds. The sidewalk to the basement apartment slopes downward a fair bit, but the place is otherwise pretty accessible for those with difficulty with too many steps (there is one step to enter the door, but that's it). I'll definitely be staying here again, and can't recommend it enough for anyone wanting to stay in the area.

Excellent trip to northern Virginia!

My girlfriend and I had a great time visiting northern Virginia this past weekend. We were fortunate to find a last minute Vrbo home in Fairfax VA about a week before the trip. The location of the property was exceptionally ideal, and after the trip we felt very grateful to have found this gem. We rented the lower floor of the house where we stayed, and the space was cozy and fully equipped in every way for us providing what we needed in every way possible. We had our two dogs with us, and we had very easy access to the backyard for bathroom breaks for the pups. The bedroom was quite comfortable and was great for sleeping in both mornings of our stay. We enjoyed a cup of coffee from the keurig before heading out for a hike at great falls park. And for dinner we made a trip to a local favorite - honey pig! All and all we couldn’t have been more grateful for the perfect home base for our weekend getaway. We had an amazing time, and the trip flew by as we were enjoying ourself immensely. Thank you Burke and Sarah for being such great hosts for us over Memorial Day weeeknd! ☺️🙏
