We had such a great time staying at the property! It was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Location was perfect! We will be back again!
I rented this property for my parents as a birthday present getaway. They raved about how clean and beautiful the property was. Not only that, it’s in a great spot - walkable to lots of shopping and restaurants. Highly recommend!
The charming description fits this rental. We liked the location for getting the Metro to see the sights in the capitol. King street has cute boutiques and plenty of fun dining. We would definitely stay here again!
The location is superb! The condo is exactly as pictured and has everything you need. Communication with the host was a breeze. Highly recommend!!

We arrived as scheduled with no problems with parking or getting into rental. The property was clean, well-furnished and a great location for exploring local Old Alexandria and Washington D.C. via the Metro. We would choose this rental again when visiting!

Great Vacation Rental
The apartment was great - very charming, well appointed, exceptionally clean and in a very nice area. It is centrally located in the Alexandria Old Town historic district and is within easy walking distance of the King Street Metro, shops, restaurants and waterfront. We really enjoyed our stay and will hopefully book this property again whenever we are in the DC area.
Perfw t spot to wxplore Old Town Alexandria and surrounding area.
The host provided a great experience and a greay place to stay right in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. The convenience of having shops, restaurants, and the Metro line to access DC whenever we wanted was fantastic. It was great to have such a clean, beautiful place to stay with so many amenities. We would highly recommend this place to oir family and friends.

King Street
Right in the middle of everything happening on King Street! Our first time in Alexandria and we couldn't have picked a better area to stay. We didn't have a car and it was easy to get to the transit station and take the bus, metro or hop on the free trolley along the street to go to the river. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
We had an amazing stay with our two young children. The space was immaculate and the location could not have been better. Beautiful interior with everything we needed. Highly recommend. The owner was very responsive. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with our stay. We were two adults and 5 yo twins. The apartment is fully equipped and very clean. The location within Old Alexandria is just perfect, surrounded by cool shops and restaurants, and just blocks away from the metro station, which we used frequently to go to the museums in DC. I highly recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed.
Our recent stay was so easy and enjoyable. The location cannot be beat. We lived in the area around 15 years ago and wanted to share our favorite spots with our children, while also doing the touristy DC stuff. Half way between the river and the Metro was perfect for us. The place itself is so cute and clean. There were 4 of us and the girls said the pull out couch was comfortable. We arrived late due to flight delays and had no issue getting in and getting settled. The host was quick to respond if I had any questions. I would highly recommend it!
Great location centrally located in old town, Alexandria walking distance to shops and lots of restaurants and bars that was very convenient. The apartment was very cute. Decorated very pretty very clean. Wish the water pressure was a little harder in the shower but that’s OK. Still enjoyed it.
I stayed at this apartment to attend a week long class in Old Town.
I quickly found out the location could not have been any better! It was right amongst all of the lovely shops and restaurants. The parking spot was super convenient as well.
The apartment itself was clean as a whistle and appointed so nicely for my stay. I was thrilled with it.
Thank you, Jennifer, for helping me with the parking on the first night as well.
I would recommend this apartment to anyone looking to spend time in this lovely area!
Fantastic location, charming apartment in Old Town Alexandria
The location and property were exactly as described and pictured. The apartment was clean and well appointed, a very comfortable residence to come back to after days of exploring the area. We cooked meals in the kitchen and also enjoyed several of the nearby restaurants and cafes.
Highly recommend this for DC tourists, as well. The Metro station is about a ten-minute walk away, straight down King Street. We ordered a few Ubers/Lyfts, on occasions when we had a tighter time frame. Very convenient location for everything.

Perfect!
The entire process was seamless. Jennifer, the host, is very responsive and accommodating. The apartment is even better than the pictures. Immaculately clean, thoughtfully decorated fitted with quality furniture and appliances. The location is in the heart of the action on Kings Street. The bedroom is in the quiet back of the unit. I will definitely stay there again.
This unit is on the second floor of an old building on King str. It has been totally rebuilt with all the modern fixtures and very tastefully decorated. Also, it comes with a dedicated parking spot included in the cost of the unit. We did not move our car for four days as everything we wanted to see and do was within walking distance including the Metro to the District. The kitchen was well equipped and the bed super comfy. The owner was very responsive when we reported the coffee maker was not functioning. We had a new one the next morning including a bag of coffee. We will definately be back!
Great location and property. Just a few minor quirks.
My two sons and I had a wonderful stay at this property. The location is perfect for exploring Old Town Alexandria. There are several shops and restaurants nearby. The condo was very clean and nicely appointed. There is also a parking spot that is easy to access and just a short walk from the condo.
There are just a few quirks to take into account: 1) The water pressure in the shower was very low, 2) the garbage or recycling truck arrived before 7am on both mornings of our stay and made quite a bit of noise directly underneath the bedroom window, 3) there is a very narrow set of stairs leading up to the condo, so if you have several bags it's very difficult to get them in the door and up to the unit.
But, apart from these things we really enjoyed our stay.

Totally & Tastefully Updated Historic Victorian Residence in The Heart of Old Town Alexandria
MARVELOUS! Wonderful 2nd floor apartment in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. We were there for 5 days over the recent Christmas Holiday week, visiting family who live nearby. Location couldn’t be better! Clean and well-maintained. Walking distance to the Potomac waterfront. Great restaurants, bakeries, cheese shop, Jewish deli, charming retail shopping all within a block or two. Easy property check-in and keypad security access. Owner/host, Jennifer, was great to work with & accessible if necessary. The private, complimentary off-street parking-space was so handy, as we were there during Christmas-week and street parking was at a premium. Loads of space for a couple or a couple plus 1 or 2 kids (with sleeper sofa). Spacious & well accessorized kitchen. This property is exactly as advertised! You’re gonna love it and the neighborhood, as well.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property.
Pros:
1. Beautifully finished interior
2. Nice little touches in the property- Comfy bed linens, premium TP, kitchen dishware high-end, etc.
3. Location in downtown is 10 min. walking to the metro and in the heart of the shopping/dining of old town.
4. Even the pull-out sofa is a nice/high end piece, and my kids didn't complaint it was uncomfortable!
5. Reasonable price for this property given its location.
Cons:
1. Since the property is downtown, it can be a bit noisy since there is an outdoor restaurant next door and there was a guy power washing in the ally outside our bedroom window(kinda funny actually, and it was 8 am so it wasn't really a problem!)
