Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Idylwood

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!

The location is great, near the Town Center, Reston Parkway and the metro station. Having free parking in the building’s parking garage is very helpful and appreciated. Another feature is Wegmans on the ground floor with a building entrance directly into it, so no need to drive to a grocery store. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Would stay there again.

Lily’s home was exactly as pictured. It had everything we needed. They even created YouTube videos for such an easy check in experience and I think that’s what I appreciated the most. This place makes it even more special because my boyfriend, now fiancé, proposed to me here. It was the perfect home away from home, it was so hard to say goodbye. The only thing I would be careful with is the washer. It tends to get a little loud, so I recommend washing during the day to avoid disturbing the neighbors. Other than that, I absolutely loved the home and would definitely stay here again.

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!

I love my stay! The front desk sir was so nice and friendly. The space was just like the pictures. They give you the phone number of the front desk and they answer really fast. The outdoor area was beautiful and clean. Definitely will stay here next time I visit VA or DC.

The views from anywhere you stood in the apartment were breathtaking. The metro is so close and makes travelling around the city a piece of cake. Parking was fantastic. I had an issue with a pool pass. Tyna was on it for me.

This was such a great location only a few blocks from Virginia Square or Ballston metro (in either direction). It was nice to have a peaceful place to stay once we were done exploring DC. We felt VERY safe in the neighborhood- the apartments had a concierge at the desk 24/7, key fob for accessing the parking garage, and the neighbors were quiet. It was easy to walk to several local restaurants or just hop on the metro to explore Alexandria or even Clarendon area for shopping. The parking garage did have very narrow spaces for parking- not anything the host can control- so just try to find a space you can get in and out easily. The pool was also very nice and will be even nicer as it warms up for summer guests. They even had a lifeguard present and a grill/patio area. The host was super quick to communicate and the apartment felt like home for the week we were able to spend there. I felt very grateful to find these clean, nice and affordable accommodations outside of DC for our family.

As a returning guest, Uche was again a gracious host. He was attentive and helpful in giving recommendations for things to do in the area. The apartment was in great shape and had everything I could need during my stay. There's a Harris Teeter grocery store a block away and plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. The free garage parking was very convenient, always a plus in Old Town Alexandria where parking can be difficult to find. I enjoyed staying here and would definitely do so again.

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!

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!

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.

Lucas was great.! Had a few hiccups because of the holiday season and Lucas went above and beyond to help solve the issue!

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.

Rosalyn's House was laid out perfectly, with lots of natural light and beautiful views of the gardens outside. The two-tone paint on the walls in the living area and nicely selected art was definitely a step above the average rental house. The Kitchen was one of the best equipped we have seen, and we loved the coffee options. The appliances were top notch. Rosalyn was always available to help us with questions and respond with help. The home was clean and well-maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!

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!

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

Wonderful AirBnb in a beautiful neighborhood in Alexandria. Clean, comfortable, dog friendly. Perfect stay for a weekend trip.

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.

Enjoyed stay and location. House very nice for larger groups traveling.
