This home is fantastic - beautifully appointed, immaculately clean, and centrally located in Old Town Alexandria. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone traveling to the DC area.
We planned an action-packed adventure in DC, and didnât get to fully enjoy this home, unfortunately. Itâs beautiful, and very well stocked. Itâs also in a really neat part of town.
A beautiful townhome in Alexandria. The home was an easy walk to the metro and shopping and dining in Old Town. Communication with the owner was excellent. It easily accommodated our family of 5 while touring DC for a couple of days.
Just finished a trip to the DC area and this home provides easy access via metro rail. Staying in Alexandria is like getting 2 vacation sceneries in one stop.On top of that, the home is very well appointed and the perfect size for our family of 4. The downstairs basement room is great for teenage kids to hangout.
This is the perfect location for exploring Old Town Alexandria. It's only a 10 minute walk to the Metro, a 20 minute walk to the waterfront, and there are many great restaurants and shops nearby. The home was nicely decorated with a big, beautiful, and well-appointed kitchen! There was also a private outdoor space, however we preferred to stay inside with the air conditioning. The bedrooms and bathrooms were on the small side, but that's typical in a historic home. Everything was so nicely updated that we didn't mind. The dining room and kitchen areas were very spacious, though. Be prepared for steep stairs and laundry in the basement. It was surprisingly quiet, considering we were close to King St. and a fire station. I would highly recommend this home.
Wonderful residence! Great location! Had everything you would need, very clean, excellent area and steps away from King Street. Also, the beds were comfy and sheets were soft.I would stay here again!
We loved everything about our 5 night stay here: the location, the decor, the multiple bedrooms and the quality of sleep. It was extremely easy to get into Washington DC and back when we wanted to. The kitchen was stocked with every cooking utensil, dishes and spices that we could ever need. Communication with the host was excellent. We have nothing but positive feedback and would definitely return.
Great location and easy check in. Well appointed and clean. The kitchen was superbly stocked and the beds were quite comfortable. Parking was very easy. Highly recommend for a stay in historic Alexandria!
We were amazed at all the upgrades this old house has. The modern kitchen has everything we could have wanted plus. The bedrooms and bedding were very comfortable and we were astounded at all the extras the hostess had on hand. Nice location right off King street.
We had a great stay in this wonderful, nicely renovated townhouse in Old Town. It was wonderful to be able to walk to all the great shops and restaurants on King Street. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed.
This is an excellent place to stay, great location to waterfront and the metro station, easy to get in and out of DC.
The host was fantastic to work with, ver responsive to questions.
The house was well stocked with everything we needed. I can highly recommend this property.
We went with a group of couples and this property was great for a group of 6. It was very clean and comfortable. Everyone remarked on how comfortable the beds were. The basement area was good for gathering with comfortable couches and a larger tv. We also enjoyed spending time out on the patio, even though it was late February. The location is great, we were able to park our car and forget it for our stay. Check out process was very simple.
This is a wonderful home in a great location! The space is very clean and updated. The owner is attentive and very nice, took a call from me on our first evening there to help me figure out the internet (our toddler monitor wasnât connecting to wifi). She was so helpful and responsive. She even allowed us to extend our check out by 1 hour! Location is very convenient. It can get a bit noisy with sirens due to a nearby fire station, but my family mostly slept through it! The beds were extremely comfortable.
Beautiful, comfortable, and very clean. Tastefully decorated. So close to restaurants, trolly car, and Metro. Just parked car and walked and took trolly everywhere. We will definitely stay here again.
This property is amazing. The owner was responsive to all inquiries and booking as well as providing thorough check in instructions. The place was very clean with modern appliances and bathrooms. Including travel-sized toiletries was above and beyond thoughtful and hospitable. The location is fantastic and walking distance to many great restaurants and shops. Parking was easy to find on the street the whole time we were there.
Not a brag, just a statement of fact-weâve stayed in a lot of VRBOs over the past decade plus, and this is one of the best. Staying here really made our vacation-if you can call
it that when youâre retired. We were close to restaurants and retail, with a doable walk to the Metro. The renovated kitchen wanted for nothing, the beds were comfy, and the outdoor area was cozy. It was so nice to spend a day exploring, and come âhomeâ to this property, because thatâs what it felt like. There are stairs, so keep that in mind.
We had a great stay at this wonderful home right off King Street. The location was great for a week trip to see the sights around DC. Not too far to the Metro. We caught the trolly several times but walked the whole street many times.
The host was very quick at responding to our inquiries. The house was fully stocked in the kitchen and plenty of towels in the bathrooms.
There was a cold snap while we were there and the two fireplaces warmed us up quickly. We appreciated the extra space in the basement to recover from our long days out.
We hope to book again someday!
This is one of the best rentals I've stayed at - the backyard space was beautiful (tons of seating), the fridge and freezer are spacious, and there's TONS of kitchenware. Beds were very comfortable.
It was the perfect spot to take advantage of great weather the weekend of the Marine Corps Marathon. Loved that this was within a 15 minute walk to the King St Metro & 20+ minute walk down to the waterfront along King Street. Also within walking distance of Trader Joe's if you don't want to rent a car, but it certainly is a walk.
Only downside was the sirens from ambulances going by throughout the weekend, for anyone sensitive to the noise.
Would definitely recommend this location!
I canât say enough good things about this rental property. We spent the month of February 2023 here to escape the Northeast winter. The photos and description say it all. Beautifully outfitted, and the perfect location for exploring Alexandria, and just a 10-minute walk to the Metro and all that DC has to offer. Very comfortable beds and linens. Large well-equipped kitchen. Easy communications with the owner. Perfect.
My wife and I spent the month of February in 2023 and 2024 in this house as a midwinter escape from Maine. The house is beautifully decorated, outfitted, and maintained, just as shown in the photos. And the location canât be beat, just a half-block off King Street, about 1/3 mile walk to the Metro and a mile down to the river. Fantastic place for walkers. We have not used a car while here, but have either walked, used the Metro, or Ubered everywhere. (Thereâs also the free King Street shuttle if you donât want to walk.) The owner is local and very responsive to any communication or need. Only negative I can think of is the thin shared wall of this 19th Century wood-framed house means there is noise transmission between the adjoining houses, but it mostly amounts to some floor creaking when occupants in either house are moving about, something that didnât bother us at all. We love staying here!
This was a great property. The only possible down side was that it is close to a fire station but that was not really a deterrent. We were in town for a graduation and the property was spacious and accommodated us as well as having room for grand parents to come and visit.
As a chef I appreciated the well equipped kitchen. Beautiful outdoor space was relaxing. Den / family room in the basement was great for the young adults and allowed anyone who wanted to turn in early a quiet space upstairs.
Then the neighborhood. Fantastic location close to everything.
Danielle was amazing as the owner / host and always got right back to us. This stay spoiled us and set a new bar for future stays.
We have lived in Alexandria for 27 years. We love the "small city near the big city" feel and value the access we have to everything the Washington DC area has to offer. We enjoy hosting people from other areas and helping you find the perfect activities to make your trip special.
This location cannot be beat. Old Town Alexandria was George Washington's stomping grounds. It cannot be beat for historical flavor. We are 1/2 block off of King Street - Old Town's main thoroughfare, so there is no end to the number of restaurants and shops in walking distance. We are a 7 minute walk to the Metro and Amtrak stop and a 12 minute drive to the airport. We knew this house would offer our guests everything they could want in walking distance with easy access to Washington, DC sightseeing.
We spent the winter having this home renovated. Almost everything is brand new and completed with guests in mind. We love the 1880s charm and the modern luxury.
