This is a fabulous house. In DC for child number 3 graduation. Five of us stayed in this roomy, beautiful and comfy town house. We have grown to love Alexandria and this house is perfect. Convenient to Old Town and easy short trip to DC sights. Great communication and check in a breeze. Not too many rules and restrictions and the ones present were very reasonable. Many spots for a group to hang together and lots of nooks for privacy. One of my favorite stays ever.

Our hostess was lovely and friendly! The house was perfect. Our group of four running friends stayed for the weekend of the Marine Corps Marathon. This house was the perfect rental for us. We each had our own rooms to spread out in and get good sleep in comfy beds. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking our own food. And the hot tub was our favorite post-race treat. We all greatly enjoyed that. The neighborhood was quiet and convenient to groceries and take-out. Walking to the Metro is doable or a quick Uber ride. Overall, a wonderful experience! Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic stay in Old Town Alexandria! The rental was spotless, tastefully decorated, and perfectly located just a short walk to shops, waterfront restaurants, and historic sites. The host Renée was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making check-in seamless and the entire experience stress-free. It truly felt like a comfortable home away from home.

Great home and location in Old Town Alexandria

We had a fantastic stay at The Nostalgic in Old Town Alexandria. The home was just as described and in a great location. It was an easy 15 min walk to King Street, but the walk is just lovely. The home had nice amenities and comforts of home (comfortable bedding, toiletries, toys for kids, k cups, etc.). It’s a great home. Of note- the home is 4 stories so there are many steps to navigate for guests. We will definitely like to return.
