Beautiful home right in old town. Super convenient for walking around with lots of shops (and King St. Night life!) just steps away. Vatsana provided everything we needed and was a terrific host. Will definitely consider staying here again next time we visit!

This charming townhouse was perfectly located in Old Town Alexandria; great neighborhood close to excellent shopping and dining. It was perfect for me and my two friends. Would highly recommend! Although we ate our meals out, it was a well-furnished kitchen with a great coffee station. Two spacious bedrooms upstairs and updated bathrooms made everything so comfortable. Huge thanks to Vatsana for providing extensive information about the area - groceries, restaurants, sights, wine stores etc. So sorry we forgot to sign the guest book - we left fairly early this morning and it got away from us! Would definitely book again if I return to Alexandria.

This was our third stay at the home. Inside was as great as always. The drive and back parking had some snow and ice through no fault of the owner. Throughout Old Town there were similar conditions. There had been work to make some parking possible. Since the ice was so thick, that must have been extremely difficult. The owner is wonderful to deal with.

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.
