This property is conveniently located with access to multiple forms of public transportation.

Dash Bus: DASH is a local bus service that is free to riders. It travels all over Alexandria, but will not take you into DC. You can hop on the Dash Bus just a few feet from the front door in both directions.

WMAT Bus: If you were to take a WMAT bus which travels around Northern VA and DC, you would have to either use your phone, acquire a smartrip card, or have exact change on the bus itself.

Metro: We are located a little less than a mile from the King Street Metro Station and a little over 1 mile to the Braddock Street Station. There is a bus stop nearby for the free Alexandria city bus (Dash) that runs directly to the Metro stop. {Trains: Blue and Yellow Lines}. It would take you less than 5 mins by car and probably 15-20 mins to walk it if the weather was nice.

Amtrak: Amtrak provides interstate travel and also has a stop at King Street. If headed north, the next stop after King Street is Union Station in Washington DC. Please check their website for schedules and available stops.

King Street Trolley: You’re about 1 block to King street to pick up the Trolley. The King Street Trolley runs every 15 minutes between Alexandria City Hall/Market Square and the King St – Old Town Metrorail station from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week, including holidays.


**There are also ample Uber and Lyft rides in the area.

Please just let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!
Laurie and Collin

This home provides self check-in through a smart-lock located on the front entry door. A code will be provided to you after you book with us.

Please remember that you're staying in our home, not a hotel. Please treat the space and our neighbors with the same respect you would show your own home.

If any problems arise throughout your stay, we will do our best to assist you as soon as possible. However, there is no one living on site 24/7.

Please note that profiles with a lower review rating of 4 stars will not be allowed to book utilizing "instant booking." If for some reason the platform confirms your reservation, the reservation may be cancelled at the host's discretion. For guests with new profiles without reviews, these requests will be reviewed manually and are subject to screening before a reservation is confirmed.

PARKING:
**PLEASE BE CONSCIOUS OF OUR NEIGHBORS PARKING SPOTS**
You may park in the free private parallel parking spot in front of the gray garage or if your vehicle is small enough you may also park in the garage itself. Parallel parking is from the edge of our door to the edge of our garage. Large SUVs, full size trucks, and vans may be too large for this spot and we would please ask you be conscious of our neighbors and find parking elsewhere should your vehicle be too large. 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. You can open the garage from the inside once you've gained access to the home. Unfortunately, there is no garage door opener remote. There is a paid parking garage directly across the street and an open air lot about 2 blocks west on Cameron should you need additional parking.

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.

Amazing Girls Weekend Location

The house was beautiful and just perfect for my college roomies to get together to celebrate our 60th birthdays. The beds were so comfy, the layout was perfect for a lovely dinner, game night or just morning coffee. The owners were super responsive when we had questions. Lastly, the location was great for shopping, restaurants and walking along the water. Perfect place to stay at! Highly Recommend!

Perfect stay in DC

Our family of four enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Old Town Alexandria property. The location was perfect for walking around Old Town and we were able to get into DC within 15-20 minutes.

Perfect property

This property is roomy and comfortable. It is just blocks from waterfront and a fun, easy 20 min walk to Metro - shops, restaurants, coffee shops- through the heart of old town. Many historic buildings in neighborhood as well. The area is safe and you feel safe as well. The property helped make our stay a great one!

We hadn’t been to DC or Old Town Alexandria and chose this property based on walkability and king size beds for our group of three adults and three teens. It was exactly as listed, very clean, very convenient and easy to get to lots of shops and restaurants. Owners very responsive to comms as well.

Great Spot

We really enjoyed this home. The location is awesome! The property is very clean and the kitchen is well equipped for large parties. The bathrooms are clean and have nice touches of cotton swabs and q tips as well as hair dryers. There were plenty of towels for everyone. The only suggestion I would make for improvement is bath mats in the bathrooms for getting out of the shower. Since there were so many towels we just used those. Also, the floor in the bathtub/shower in the downstairs bedroom was very slippery so becareful not to slip there. Next time we come back to the area we will definitely stay here again.

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.
