Quirky, comfy and perfectly located!
Quirky in a great way! It is a historic home and this was a history vacation for us. It has a step up into the master bedroom, narrow yet navigable (and beautifully painted) stairs and creaky floors. All things we love about old houses. House was beautifully appointed with a lot of thought and care. The location is fantastic! We walked to the King St. metro station every morning and took the free trolley back every evening. It’s very close to restaurants, shopping, and anything else one might need. There were 3 of us and it perfectly suited our needs. Communication was lightning fast when I failed to follow directions and inadvertently locked us out of the house. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Short Trip to Old Town Alexandria
We were in town for the K-pop concert. We stayed at the property for 2 days. It was a great place to stay, clean, comfortable and accommodating. I recommend the property to anyone visiting the DC area. We plan on staying here again next time we visit the DC area.

Cute and close
It was a very cute little townhome. We enjoyed the house and the location. It was perfect for walking around and enjoying the town. The 2 hour limit for on street parking was a surprise but it worked out very nicely.
