About the host

Hosted by Clark Bavin

Host profile image
We were born and raised here in Alexandria - you might say we probably know more than most, ha. We love sharing our hometown, its history, its colonial charm, and southern hospitality with others. Being a small town right in the backyard of our Nation’s Capital is quite interesting.

Why they chose this property

Alexandria has an amazing history and it has been exciting to see how it changes and adapts to the new world. Our location has changed tremendously over the years - but we continue to have charming shops and small businesses, excellent dining choices, and several coffee shops. Like most historic seaport towns, there are still some residences above the shops. It’s a very vibrant community and there’s always something going on. And when there’s not, that’s fine too. Lots to take in and explore.

What makes this property unique

What we offer is a little oasis, a get away place centrally located in Old Town, Alexandria. It’s a carriage house (an expanded flounder style) at the back of an 1800s townhouse which is largely a commercial building with an antiques shop and several small businesses.
