This was our third stay at the home. Inside was as great as always. The drive and back parking had some snow and ice through no fault of the owner. Throughout Old Town there were similar conditions. There had been work to make some parking possible. Since the ice was so thick, that must have been extremely difficult. The owner is wonderful to deal with.

We enjoyed the stay at this lovely restored home. We would suggest providing Kleenex, Extra towels and washcloths. The sheets on one of the beds could have been better as they were “pilled”. Over all, this was a great place to stay and convenient to Old Town and DC! We also appreciated the quick response of our host and her willingness to extend our stay a little bit.

About the host

Hosted by Vatsana Ross

Host profile image
I was a resident of Old Town Alexandria and have enjoyed the area for decades, due to my work I often travel and will visit the area to see family and friends.

Why they chose this property

The location and walking distance is hard to beat. When you leave the front door, you'll be steps away from history, fun activities, and great food.

What makes this property unique

This property was lovingly restored to incorporate old and new, and the original features, such as the windows, wooden stairs, and brick walls, remain in the house.
