"We really enjoyed our stay here. The layout of the unit is great! The living space and kitchen are right together and the bath and sleeping areas are down the little hallway, making it feel more like an apartment than a hotel. Janel, the on-site Manager was so friendly and helpful. We really liked that the entrances to the quad area where you enter your rooms were all secured - it felt safe. We would definitely stay here again!"

"So very glad we found this property after a couple of misfires with Vrbo reservations for the 4th of July weekend. Clean, inviting, and surprisingly, VERY quiet, given it is near a major highway. We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the accommodations. As well, communication was almost instantaneous and extremely helpful. Very close to Huntington Metro Station, where we parked for the day so we could go into Washington DC. Also close to Aldi so we could pick up snacks and cream for our coffee (and right up the street from Krispy Kreme!) We will definitely consider this property again should we return to the area!"

8/10 Good
"Overall a great house for a large family. Plenty of bedrooms and private baths. We stayed with three couples ranging from early 40s to mid 70s and a few single people over 35 as well one teen. The only improvement I would suggest is putting more traditional seating in the house. The TV room, where my family tends to gather late at night, didn't have chairs. My parents can't sit on the floor, and I would suspect many older visiters would have similar challenges. We had to move chairs from the well-appointed living room (that didn't have a TV). We did find it a somewhat disconcerting that the owner pops in an out of the basement office without warning. This was a little taxing on nerves of a few family members.Owner was very responsive to a few issues we had with the house which we appreciated. We would stay there again."
