Very comfy house for our 11 night stay

The house was very convenient to everything we needed. Very walkable and easy to get to DC on the Metro. It was roomy with comfortable furniture and beds. It had a mostly equipped kitchen but was lacking in saucepans and also no cutting board that I could find but I made do. I always cook when we travel so that’s important to me. But the appliances were nice. The 3 parking places were a godsend. The road the house sits on is super busy so a little noisy. Loved the showers. Overall, an excellent base in Old Town Alexandria.

Great place in Old Town

This home was in a fantastic location for a DC visit. The host Vat was easy to communicate with and very responsive. The home was very clean and provided everything we needed for a great stay. The Old Town community it was located in was pretty neat and had many choices for food and drinks. 10/15 minute drive across the river to get to national mall and a slew of Smithsonian museums. Great place to stay. Thank you Vat.

Great Old Town Stay!

We love to make Old Town our “home base” when we visit the DC area. And this historic (but up-to-date) home is the perfect place for a family stay. All the creature comforts both inside and outside to make our stay comfy. The off-street parking is a BIG deal. The communication with management is prompt and helpful. And with a short two block walk to King Street the location is perfect. If it’s available, snap it up! You won’t regret it!

About the host

Hosted by Vatsana Ross

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.
