Lots of Charm but Lacking Finesse
This is a cute townhome in Old Town Alexandria within walking distance to more restaurants, bars, shops, than you can count. It was also only four blocks to the King Street Metro and Alexandria train stations, which was very convenient for getting into DC without having to fight traffic and worry about parking. There is also a dedicated off street parking space in the rear for one vehicle, which was very nice given the location.The owner was very responsive when I reached out with questions, however, there are a couple of things you should note prior to booking. Even though the listing says the property sleeps 8 (it does), you will be charged an extra person fee for anyone over 6 guests. If you should happen to book for a party of more than 4, there is nowhere in the house for everyone to sit and eat. The only table is a high top in the kitchen that theoretically seats four, but even that was a tight squeeze. The kitchen itself was adequately furnished with a variety of pots and pans and utensils. Some of the furniture was in disrepair/falling apart, there were multiple areas on the walls, mostly near baseboards on the main level and the second floor bathroom sink, where the paint and plaster were chipping and falling on the floor/counter, and multiple door handles were loose and close to falling off. All in all, we enjoyed our stay at the property but a bit more attention to detail in the maintenance and upkeep would truly set this location apart.
