"The location of the house couldn’t be better. It is less than a block from King St where you can find all kind of restaurants and stores. We also took the free trolley in King St to the Metro station and went to DC during the day. It was an easy and short ride (15’) The house had enough space to accommodate our group of 8. Beds were very comfortable and baths & kitchen had all we need for our stay. I highly recommend this house if you plant to visit Alexandria/ DC area."

"Firstly, it is hard to find one place that will accommodate ten guests. Secondly the house is as perfect as the web site describes. Thirdly, when visiting Washington DC this is the best place to stay, which we will do on future trips! Fourthly, our host was quick to respond to any and all inquires."

Perfect Location
Very nice historic townhouse in Old Town Alexandria. We could walk to everything and found a fun restaurant two doors away. Plenty of comfortable beds. Nice kitchen and living room. The owner was easy to contact and wanted to make sure we were having a comfortable stay.

Beautiful House in the Heart of Old Town Alexandria
The house is beautiful and nicely decorated. Great location right off of King Street. Plenty of room for our party of 7 to relax and interact. Overall it was a comfortable space. The only issue of note is that the mattresses were exceedingly firm. That can be a good or bad thing, depending on personal preference. The owners were very good at communicating and checked in with us on arrival and departure. The check-in and check-out were very easy and straight forward. I would definitely recommend The W House and will consider it again for future visits to Alexandria!

Perfect Old Town location for a weekend getaway!
We loved our long weekend at The W House in Old Town Alexandria! Our group of women loved the close proximity to King Street (half a block!), and the convenience of the parking garage just across the street. The home was beautiful, the beds were very comfortable, everything was clean, and it was just as it appeared in the listing. We hope to return!

Great location
We brought our family with a 9 month old, 4 year old, and grandparents to DC and this was a great place to stay. It was very clean, reasonably stocked, and well decorated/furnished. We had a couple minor issues with missing lightbulbs and a malfunctioning toilet, but they were quickly resolved and the management communicated quickly. The property is a very old townhouse, and certain quirks are to be expected but could have been communicated better in the listing. No door to the basement bedroom and abnormally steep stairs are a good example, but overall would stay again!
