Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Franconia

We had a great week at Maya’s place. It was like “old school” Airbnb in the best possible ways: a friendly host that meets you and shows you in, random food in the pantry and fridge to snack on, coffee and tea on hand, shampoo in the bathroom. I miss those days! The location was convenient with many restaurants to choose from and 2 metro stops within an easy walk. Comfortable furniture and bed in the unit. Clean. Kitchen well equipped for basic cooking, including a sharp knife (a rarity in Airbnb’s). Plentiful parking in the secure garage under the building. We would definitely return next time we need a place in Ballston!

Our entire stay was absolutely phenomenal. We loved every bit of our experience. Our host was so kind and accommodating in all ways. He was attentive and always available. The space was clean and extremely spacious. He even went out his way to come and personally take a look at something we needed assistance with. The entire place was great. Very safe and very comfortable, would recommend to any to stay! Definitely more of a 2 people and couples area to stay as a recommendation. Either way, can’t go wrong with staying here! :)

We enjoyed our stay here. After an inconvenience of another air bnb, the owner, Sarah, was very quick to reply and provided us access quickly. This rental is in a convenient location between two metro stations, both a 10 min walk. Enjoyed the cleanliness of the rental and the area in general. Lots of restaurant options, close to Whole Foods and a mall area. Outdoor playgrounds clean nearby. The rental had plenty of room for my family of 5. Overall, great trip for my family!

It was a very clean and well laid out 1st floor apartment for our family. Very secure and we appreciated the technology. Well appointed kitchen has everything we needed.

Dmytro’s place was clean and comfortable. We liked that it is an end unit townhouse and didn’t hear any sound from the neighbors.

We had a fantastic experience at this hotel! Nestled in a great location, it offers convenient access to nearby attractions, making it an ideal choice for travelers. The hotel is impressively clean and feels brand new, creating a fresh and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you step inside. The staff truly stands out—they are friendly, professional, and always ready to assist, which made our stay even more enjoyable. While the price per night could be more competitive, the overall experience makes it worth the investment. The quality of service, cleanliness, and prime location justify the cost, and we would certainly consider staying here again. Highly recommended for those looking for comfort and convenience!

This is my second stay and it was great once again. The apartment is perfect for one person and is a great place to hang out when you don’t want to be out enjoying all of the Ballston area restaurants. I’ll be back.

We had a wonderful stay at Lucas’s place over Memorial Day weekend! The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and included convenient amenities like a washer/dryer and working appliances. Having a dedicated parking space was a huge plus, and the location was perfect—just a short walk to great restaurants and shops. Lucas was friendly, responsive, and made the check-in process easy. Highly recommend!

Stayed here with two of my friends for a long weekend and we had a wonderful time! Room was incredibly clean and very spacious, with a lovely kichenette. Staff were amazing, amenities like the pool and hot tub were great, and overall a great experience. Janee was also super helpful, kind, and responsive!

Tunji’s place was near everything I had to do and had secure parking garage. He was very helpful and responsive. This was all a last minute booking and he made it very smooth. Thank you for the hospitality!

The host was more than accommodating and the condo Is exactly as pictured . Great stay

Love this clean calm space-the balcony was wonderful. Mark was super responsive, checked in on us and we had everything we needed-especially in the kitchen. Great location for walking to restaurants and stores. Will definitely stay again!

This condo is highly recommended. The host is very easy to work with and provides beautiful and comfortable accommodations. The condo is incredibly close to the Friendship Heights Metro stop along with a list of other shops, restaurants, and grocers. The building is easy to navigate and quiet. Everyone really keeps to themselves. I truly enjoyed my stay, felt safe, and would absolutely stay here again.

Brooke was very responsive to all of my questions. She helped whenever needed. She contacted the place when there was a slight issue and ensured I was well cared for. I am incredibly pleased with Brooke.

Very nice place to stay near Gaylord convention center. Super clean condo. All the essentials are there. Lots to do at the resort as well as nearby walking distance. Having a baby in the group we did quite a bit of laundry. A laundry room was on our floor with two washers and four dryers and free of charge. We barely passed anyone on the seventh floor. We would def stay here again.

Great place with nice amenities! We enjoyed our stay, and the host was very communicative.

Very, very clean and spacious. Adrian sent very clear check-in directions and responded promptly to communications. He also provided a thorough guest manual. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The space was more comfortable than in pictures and the gym equipment seemed very nice. We were very happy with our stay.

Tahsin & Konrad have a very nice apartment in their house. It was clean and quiet. The bed and other furniture were comfortable. There was plenty of hot water and the internet speed was good. The appliances all worked. They were very fast to respond to any queries. The house is close to the train station, which makes it easy to get into DC for sightseeing. The garden is fabulous, and the dogs are friendly. I recommend staying here if you are visiting the area.

Great host! Responded to any questions I had about anything. Place was so clean and well maintained. We truly enjoyed our visit!

Jamie went out of her way to make us feel special. The place is on a quiet street and walkable to so many things. We will recommend to all our friends.

This is a beautiful place to stay, it’s a quiet and lovely neighborhood and the rental house is so tasteful! I loved having access to their rowing machine and washer dryer too! Great light also!

Beautiful home! Exactly like the photos. Spacious, Incredibly comfortable, and so inviting. Fantastic location.

Literally speechless for how much we loved this place. She went above and beyond. You actually feel like a guest in one of a close family friend’s home and not a stranger. I’d love to return! 10/10 can’t recommend enough!

Incredibly responsive host that helped us with a last minute booking! Very personable, friendly, and accommodating, made us feel very comfortable. Great list of features and amenities and spacious home.
