About the host

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.
