So glad we decided to stay here vs the hotel recommended by our Conference. The house was very spacious with a newer kitchen, large dining room and comfortable living room. Also, really enjoyed the location near (but not on) King Street. Host is a great communicator and accommodating. we had a wonderful time at this house and would highly recommend to others.

Great location close to the Old Town Trolley which takes you to the Metro. Easy walk from the house to all of the shopping and restaurants on King Street. Also close to historic Christ Church and other Alexandria landmarks. Our family with four children enjoyed using this as our home base during our Washington, DC vacation. Vat is a superb host and is very responsive. Would definitely plan to return!

This unit is ideal for families who want to be near the restaurants and shops of Old Town Alexandria, and within 1 mile (all level, easy walking) of a Metro stop into DC. It worked great for us. The house was immaculate and well appointed. We had a problem with the air conditioning, and the host had a repair man there withih an hour. We were very well satisfied. .

This charming townhouse was perfectly located in Old Town Alexandria; great neighborhood close to excellent shopping and dining. It was perfect for me and my two friends. Would highly recommend! Although we ate our meals out, it was a well-furnished kitchen with a great coffee station. Two spacious bedrooms upstairs and updated bathrooms made everything so comfortable. Huge thanks to Vatsana for providing extensive information about the area - groceries, restaurants, sights, wine stores etc. So sorry we forgot to sign the guest book - we left fairly early this morning and it got away from us! Would definitely book again if I return to Alexandria.
