PARKING:
There is paid street parking available all over OldTown, download the Parkmobile app if you plan to park around town...although you can walk everywhere from here. There is a paid parking garage over on Cameron street (2 blocks) in between Pitt and Royal as well an open air lot west on Cameron about 4 blocks should you need additional parking. You can park directly out in front of the home for 2 hours. Quite honestly I've never seen anyone ticketed after 2 hours, regardless of the time spent, but please keep in mind you're parking there at your own risk should you exceed 2 hours.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
Cancellation policies vary by booking platform. For direct bookings and VRBO, credit card processing fees are non-refundable in cases where a full refund applies. Refer to the booking platform for full cancellation terms.

This home is part of a highly sought after neighborhood in OldTown Alexandria. The history of Alexandria, Virginia, begins with the first European settlement in 1695. Over the next century, the town became a significant port. In 1801, much of Alexandria was swept into the new District of Columbia; it was damaged along with much of the rest of the capital during the War of 1812. In 1846, Alexandria was returned to Virginia, along with the rest of the District's territory on the western side of the Potomac River. After Virginia seceded in 1861, Alexandria was swiftly captured by Union forces and held for the remainder of the American Civil War. In the late 20th century, Alexandria became a key part of the rapidly growing Northern Virginia region.
Alexandria is safe, walkable and close to everything. We love being here and know you will too.
