Excellent location. Nice area with restaurants and grocery stores and, most importantly, Metro train and bus stops within a 10-15 minute walk. Enterprise car rental was also within walking distance. Comfortable house accommodations. Was perfect bedroom layout for our family of 6 adults. Future travelers, pack an extension cord or outlet splitter as the number of outlets proved challenging at times. Also bring your own games along for time spent stuck indoors. Morning sunlight comes through the blinds into the office/bedroom so if that will bother you, bring a sleep mask. Driveway parking was a nice plus. Kelly was courteous and accommodating to our needs.

Our family spent a lovely three nights at Kelly's house in Arlington. Everything in the house was exactly as described in the photos and in the description. We had everything we needed and more. Much better and more comfortable than a hotel stay! The beds were pristine and extremely comfortable to sleep in (we used three queen beds and a single bed during our stay and all were very comfy). All of the linens and towels were spotlessly clean and we appreciated the complimentary shampoo, conditioner and body wash. An added bonus were the big screen TVs and a Netflix movie in the evening! Walking to the Ballston MU metro stop was easy and allowed us to visit all we wanted to see in D.C. For my family's first time visiting the nation's capital everything was perfect! We loved Kelly's suggestions of eateries in the surrounding area, with Uncle Julio's coming in number one. Self check-in and check-out were incredibly easy thanks to our host's detailed instructions.
