Southwest Quadrant vacation rentals

The location of this apartment couldn’t have been more perfect! Located across the street from the free trolley that takes you directly to the metro for all the DC sightseeing. It’s located smack in the middle of all the shopping and restaurants. Everything was clean and decorated so cute. It is a cozy fit but met our needs. The washer/dryer onsite was a nice surprise as we did nothing but walk all day in DC and come back very sweaty! Host was easy to communicate with and got back quickly with responses. If we come back to DC in the future, this is where we will be staying!

Our stay included myself (54), my sister (56), and my mother (82). The property is two floors, each with a bathroom, which was important to my mother who can climb stairs, but likes to avoid it. Bedrooms are on the second floor, which were a little warm when we arrived (during a heat wave!), but there are fans in each room, and adjusting the AC made it comfortable pretty quickly. Each bed was comfortable, and the closets were appointed well for short stays with hanging shelves/drawers and plenty of hangers. The shower pressure was good. When just hanging out, we enjoyed the owner's vinyl record collection and framed art slideshow/tv (hard to explain but pretty cool). The kitchen was well appointed with appliances, pots and pans, utensils, foil, storage bags, and containers for leftovers. Trader Joe's is nearby (with a free parking garage) for groceries. The location was central to airports, Mt. Vernon, downtown D.C., and Arlington. Most everything was within 20-30 minutes away. If you want to walk to King Street in Alexandria, it wouldn't be far, but the heat wave kept us inside when we weren't sightseeing. Overall, we had a comfortable, enjoyable stay.

Beautiful stay near downtown Alexandria. Spacious home with plenty of room for two small families. The host was very communicative and helpful. Would stay again!

If we could give them a rating of 15/10 we would. Fabulous from beginning to end. Everything was perfect, from our interaction with the owners, the location and of course the house itself. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home.

I chose this house because it is located around the corner from a beloved apartment that I lived in years ago. Old Town will always feel like home to me and I enjoyed spending a milestone birthday sharing those memories with my family. This lovely little gem is a historic home so it has some quirks like narrow stairs, creaks, and rattles, but that adds to its charm. The location is unbeatable for everything - shopping, restaurants, metro, waterfront, people-watching. It's street parking but it's not an issue because a parking pass is provided as needed. We found a spot right in front and didn't get back into our car until we left. It's nicely maintained, very clean, and super cozy. It was a little tight in terms of sleeping arrangements for 2 adults and 2 teens, but we made do and everyone was very comfortable. The owners were responsive, generous, and kind. We couldn't speak more highly of them, the house, or our stay. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us! We hope to enjoy it again in the near future.

We had a great time. Our young family visits the area often and this has been the best VRBO we’ve stayed at so far. There were small cons- for example, we were there on very hot days and the central AC couldn’t evenly distribute the temperature but this is to be expected in an older townhome. Also of note the air handling unit is in the basement around the corner from the large bed, so it can be noisy there at night. But really, it was a great place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone traveling to the area. Location is on a quiet street yet it is walkable to some restaurants and shops, etc. Street parking was easy, which is not the case in every Old Town neighborhood.

I wish we could give 10 stars in lieu of 5. This property is beautifully decorated inside and out! We loved the surrounding historical area. We were within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. The dog park across the street is an extra bonus since we brought our dog. In summary, this is one of the very best properties in Old Towne Alexandria VA.

This is a lovely property with all of the creature comforts while maintaining the historical charm of the area. We had a family long weekend in Alexandria with guests ranging in age from 11 to 88 and everyone was happy and comfortable during our stay. The owner was very responsive to any questions that we had prior to and during our stay. The location is perfect, with an easy walk to King Street as well as the trail along the Potomac, and easy access to main roads for excursions further afield. We would stay at this property again without hesitation and thank the owner for having such a wonderful property.
