need help finding an extended stay that will allow pets in or around Reston (homes)

[RyanGordon72]

Please help, my wife and I are moving to the Reston area in the next couple of weeks. We need to find extended stay housing for ourselves and our two dogs and two cats for a couple of weeks (I know, with that many animals it is like living in a small barn). If anyone can offer any suggestions, please, we are desparate.

I used to work for Homestead Studio Suites a few years back. I believe it has merged with Extended Stay America now but still operates under the Homestead name, and I know that there is a location in Reston, as well as several other locations in Northern Virginia. I don't know if policy has changed in the past few years, but when I worked there, pets were allowed for an added cost. It's nothing fancy. It's a very basic extended stay facility. Nothing fancy, but it has basic cable, wireless internet, a small kitchen with a toaster oven, microwave and fridge, with a laundry room on premises. Where I worked, a lot of contractors and construction workers on long-term projects stayed for weeks or months at a time; some for as long as one year. Those staying for a long period of time generally dealt with the manager and negotiated cheaper rates, some as low as $30/night.
