We love this quaint space in Old Towne. It was very convenient to shops, cafes, restaurants and local attractions. The home was wonderfully decorated and equipped with what we needed for our holiday stay. No issues with street parking and we loved walking the amazing streets surrounding the home. Plenty of room for the 3 of us and things were very comfortable. We would definitely stay again!
Wonderful property, the location could not be better for exploring Old Town. Close to DC attractions as well. Would highly recommend and would stay here again!
Very nice historic townhouse. We spent a bunch of time sitting in the back garden. Excellent location very close to King St. and all the restaurants/shops there. We were worried that we would have problems parking but always found a spot within a half block of the house.
Thank you for your kind words, Andrea. And thank you again for taking such good are of our home. Please consider staying with us again should you return to Old Town

great historic home in a fantastic location. The host was wonderful to work with. The only addition I would make is TV access to local news and sports. We brought a small digital antenna and were able to watch local stations. Being originally from Alexandria I was able to see the Commander's game and keep up with what was going on in the news. great for local restaurants and shops.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely appointed Old Town Alexandria townhouse. Its location was perfect for walking downtown to the waterfront, stores and restaurants and just a short Uber ride into DC. Genevieve was very helpful. We would love to stay here again one day!
We (two couples in our late 60's) enjoyed our two night stay in this historic home. The host (Genevieve) was easy to communicate with. It is very well located and within walking distance to everything in historic Old Town Alexandria.
Spent the weekend with my sisters. Perfect location- just off the main area so quiet at night but so easy to walk around during the day and evenings. Host is so so so nice and communicative. House has very comfortable beds, lovely back patio and little sitting areas for all of us to have our own space.
