This was our first official Sisters Trip since 2019, due to the pandemic. The neighborhood is quiet, with friendly neighbors. The host was very responsive to any questions we had about the home. The bedrooms worked for the six of us, the upstairs bedrooms very spacious. The location was an easy drive to Old Town Alexandria and quick Uber ride into Washington DC. We definitely recommend Bluemist for a stay in the Washington DC area!

My husband, son, and I travel to VA from KS to visit with his brothers and mother almost every summer. Several days’ stay at a hotel is not fun. Layla’s Vrbo was the perfect solution! Mom was able to stay with us as well as another out of town brother and family . It was a great location, comfortable, with every amenity taken care of. Close to Old Town and other shopping/dining areas. Absolutely the best!

I loved this house! I brought my mom, sister, and two daughters to visit DC and it was so nice to not have to hunt for parking at the end of the day. It was an easy drive to nearby restaurants and shops and to the nearest metro station to go to the touristy DC things. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Thank you, Layla!

We were in town for the funeral of the family matriarch (102 years old!) We needed a place that was both convenient and space for us and all of our grown children. This house worked wonderfully: it has 4 bedrooms with comfortable beds, 2 full bathroom with plenty of linens, and multiple places to gather and relax.

This VRBO was everything we needed to have a wonderful family reunion. The location is great and the home is beautiful, roomy and in a great neighborhood with a playground nearby for toddlers and nearby walkable restaurants and other shopping.

This property was exactly as described. It was clean, spacious, centrally located, and had enough room for two families. Layla was a great communicator! She had everything in the home that we needed - linens, towels, pantry supplies, cookware, cleaning supplies, toiletries, and paper products. Our families appreciated the restaurant suggestions and sightseeing tips. I highly recommend staying here if you are going to be in the DC area!

This was easily one of the best VRBO experiences we have had. The house was gorgeous and clean and was well worth the expense. It is in a great area, close to DC and in a safe neighborhood. We can't wait to rebook!

The house was very neat and clean, with plenty of space for several people to relax in the living room or the large enclosed patio on the back. It is easy access to the 395 freeway into DC, making trips to and from the city easy. The 4 bedrooms and 2 baths were very nice as well.

Three couples shared this 4 bedroom home. We enjoyed everything about it, including Layla. Walking distance to Pizzaiolo and Ramparts restaurants, both we enjoyed. We took Uber to DC and it was amazing. You can’t go wrong if you stay here.

This house suited our needs perfectly. It was very spacious and clean. We had 2 families of 4 staying here and never felt crowded. If I had to say anything negative, it would only be that it was a bit too far to walk to and from the king street metro stop with the kids. However, we uber'd into city and that worked great. We saved our walking legs for the museums and monuments. Our favorite restaurant was the Cafe Pizzaiolo, it was delicious and had tons of variety. We walked there one night and then had it delivered another night. Layla is great, very nice. She emailed us a bunch of information about the house, sightseeing and transportation. We felt extremely prepared upon arrival. This house made for a wonderful trip. We would definitely stay here again, highly recommend it.
