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.

Family vacation

We were delayed due to weather and a maintenance issue. Our host was understanding. The location was great with plenty of food and shops near by. The drive way was good when we needed uber to pick us up. We were able to cook and eat around a table on the nights we wanted. We would stay there again.

Great house, Great location in Old town

Beautifully renovated house with everything you might need. Plenty of space for everyone. Close to Metro at the end of King street or easily a short 10-15 min Uber into DC. After spending the day at the Museums and sightseeing it was very pleasant to come back to Old Town and grab dinner or ice cream in a relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely stay here again!

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.
