Wonderful stay

My husband and I were in Alexandria for several family celebrations. The location of the house could not have been more perfect for most of the family gatherings that were 2 to 6 blocks away. Added to this convenience was the house's proximity to King Street (Old Town's version of Main Street), restaurants, the Potomac River and Windmill Hill Park. The house has all modern amenities and a comfortable decor. We particularly enjoyed the beautifully landscaped patio. There is a scattering of historic memorabilia thru out the house that is not only entertaining (our visiting granddaughters loved the foot warmer and the voting ballot box) but informative. Finally, our host was not only hospitable but ready in minutes to answer texts (even on the weekend). I recommend this house and hope that future renters have as many happy memories there as my family did.
