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.

Perfect Location

Had a terrific stay in Alexandria and the location could be better. House was very clean upon our arrival. Beds were comfortable and plenty of linens provided. The host were very engaged throughout the entire process and always responded very quickly to any questions or concerns. Would for sure stay here again. The house was only a couple blocks from King Street and a Trolley Pickup. It made exploring the area super easy.

Family wedding

We had a wonderful trip. The house was in a great location, it suited our needs, and the parking was a breeze. We enjoyed the separation of a bedroom on the bottom floor and the other bedrooms on the top floor. Gave everyone a little sense of privacy. We would definitely rent this home the next time we're in Washington DC.

Perfect!

We stayed here for a bachelorette party in early February. The house was perfect. The location was amazing, kitchen was stocked with all of the necessary cooking utensils and the little backyard was so cute. The hosts were extremely responsive and attentive. It was one of the easiest check in processes I’ve ever had.

Exceptional property at a great location

This is an exceptional property in the heart of Old Town close to anything you could possibly want to do. Communication was top notch, check in was a breeze, and listing was 100% accurate. The hosts were accommodating and exceeded our expectations.There were four of us (two adults, teen, and toddler) and we had plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen was well stocked and ample space and equipment to cook if that’s your thing. If not, there are dozens of great restaurants nearby for dine in or takeout. Parking can be challenging in the area. The hosts provided some suggestions if street parking wasn’t available. Adjust expectations accordingly. Old Town is a popular spot, and wasn’t built back in the day for a ton of cars.

Comfy + chic in a great location

Stayed here for a yearly trip with my mom and sister. The location can’t be beat - it’s a 10-minute walk from tons of fun things to see and do. The place was really comfy, chic and had character.

Absolutely perfect

The owners of this historically stylish home have thought of everything from a guest perspective. From extremely detailed and helpful pre-arrival info, to comfy bed, great water pressure in the shower, cooking / dining accoutrements, the binder with restaurant and activity suggestions (the ones we tried were great and as described). Even the coffee and condiments, including individual creamers in the fridge. They respect your privacy, but you know they are there if you need them. We were a little concerned about parking, but it was no problem. Convenient street parking next to the house to unload bags and a reasonably priced parking facility about 1.5 blocks away. We lived a couple of blocks from this house 20 years ago and the neighborhood is just as charming as remembered. We would 1000% recommend.

Amazing Townhome in Amazing Location

Exceptional townhome in a great location! Superbly decorated. Wonderful outdoor space. Easy walking distance to Old Town and waterfront. We were initially concerned about parking...turned out not to be a factor. Inexpensive parking garage and outdoor lot within two blocks. Easy to park in front of the house to unload and re-load. Great place and space to sample a small taste of Old Town Alexandria colonial living. Would highly recommend to anyone who asks!

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.
