Great property. Only one small complaint - light sleepers should know the traffic noise in the front bedroom facing the main street is very loud. But, we enjoyed the location and the fire pit was great when the sun went down.

My wife and I stayed for 21 days and really enjoyed ourselves in the Old Town part of Alexandria. It was within walking distance of everything including the grocery store. The metro was close for any foray's into DC as were the many shops and restaurants on King street. Mount Vernon was a short drive away. We had visits from our daughters while there. Our dog was very much at home there too especially with the fenced in yard. The property was exactly as pictured in the vbro ad. It was very clean with plenty of towels available. We used the full sized washer and dryer that was in the rental. It is spacious yet cozy. The beds were comfortable. Our hosts could not have been more helpful and very prompt to return our inquiries.

The Madison DELIVERS!! This home is warm and cozy with peaceful energy in every space of the house. The master bedroom suite upstairs was beautifully decorated. The Master bathroom was spacious, the shower had great water pressure and there were plenty of towels for guest use. There is a total of three bed rooms in the house and each one has comfortable bedding and adequate closet space for your luggage or things. The downstairs living room/ TV is super comfortable and clean with a huge TV to watch your favorite shows. The kitchen was a coffee lovers dream, and was fully stocked to support any cooking or preparation for dining. There is a beautiful outside sitting area with a fire pit and hung lights that created an outdoor oasis. I could not partake in the outside due to the rainy weather, but it was still beautiful to look at through the floor to ceiling windows in the living room. Lastly, but certainly not least, The host Collin was a Gem!! His communication prior to and during my stay was on point. He addressed all my questions and even accommodated a request for me regarding my check in time. He thought of everything as if he was staying there and wanted to insure that my stay exceeded expectations which it did. 10 out of 10!!Thank you,Leila

This property was absolutely fantastic for our Christmas season visit to old town. We were in walking distance of the vibrant downtown area, and the house was very nicely appointed. The decor was warm and cozy and everything that we needed was available, including coffee, creamer, sugar, etc. We never had a hard time finding parking on the street right in front of the house. We would definitely stay here again.
