Perfect Home and Perfect Location

Just finished a trip to the DC area and this home provides easy access via metro rail. Staying in Alexandria is like getting 2 vacation sceneries in one stop.On top of that, the home is very well appointed and the perfect size for our family of 4. The downstairs basement room is great for teenage kids to hangout.

We loved this place

We loved everything about our 5 night stay here: the location, the decor, the multiple bedrooms and the quality of sleep. It was extremely easy to get into Washington DC and back when we wanted to. The kitchen was stocked with every cooking utensil, dishes and spices that we could ever need. Communication with the host was excellent. We have nothing but positive feedback and would definitely return.

Great Air Conditioning!

This is the perfect location for exploring Old Town Alexandria. It's only a 10 minute walk to the Metro, a 20 minute walk to the waterfront, and there are many great restaurants and shops nearby. The home was nicely decorated with a big, beautiful, and well-appointed kitchen! There was also a private outdoor space, however we preferred to stay inside with the air conditioning. The bedrooms and bathrooms were on the small side, but that's typical in a historic home. Everything was so nicely updated that we didn't mind. The dining room and kitchen areas were very spacious, though. Be prepared for steep stairs and laundry in the basement. It was surprisingly quiet, considering we were close to King St. and a fire station. I would highly recommend this home.

About the host

Hosted by Danelle Fortune

Host profile image
We have lived in Alexandria for 27 years. We love the "small city near the big city" feel and value the access we have to everything the Washington DC area has to offer. We enjoy hosting people from other areas and helping you find the perfect activities to make your trip special.

Why they chose this property

This location cannot be beat. Old Town Alexandria was George Washington's stomping grounds. It cannot be beat for historical flavor. We are 1/2 block off of King Street - Old Town's main thoroughfare, so there is no end to the number of restaurants and shops in walking distance. We are a 7 minute walk to the Metro and Amtrak stop and a 12 minute drive to the airport. We knew this house would offer our guests everything they could want in walking distance with easy access to Washington, DC sightseeing.

What makes this property unique

We spent the winter having this home renovated. Almost everything is brand new and completed with guests in mind. We love the 1880s charm and the modern luxury.
