Beautiful home, excellent location, near to restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay here again. Host is super responsive and accommodating and the home has everything you would need.
The house was so cute!! The fireplaces were cozy, the kitchen was stocked out if you wanted to cook, and the host was excellent. The location of the home was very convenient to everything. We will definitely be back!
This place is perfect!! Extremely clean, great bedding, wonderful towels, great location, safe neighborhood, close to King Street and all the restaurants. We had two amazing fireplaces!
Wonderful residence! Great location! Had everything you would need, very clean, excellent area and steps away from King Street. Also, the beds were comfy and sheets were soft.I would stay here again!
A beautiful townhome in Alexandria. The home was an easy walk to the metro and shopping and dining in Old Town. Communication with the owner was excellent. It easily accommodated our family of 5 while touring DC for a couple of days.
Great location and easy check in. Well appointed and clean. The kitchen was superbly stocked and the beds were quite comfortable. Parking was very easy. Highly recommend for a stay in historic Alexandria!
Just finished a trip to the DC area and this home provides easy access via metro rail. Staying in Alexandria is like getting 2 vacation sceneries in one stop.On top of that, the home is very well appointed and the perfect size for our family of 4. The downstairs basement room is great for teenage kids to hangout.
We had a great stay in this wonderful, nicely renovated townhouse in Old Town. It was wonderful to be able to walk to all the great shops and restaurants on King Street. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed.
We loved everything about our 5 night stay here: the location, the decor, the multiple bedrooms and the quality of sleep. It was extremely easy to get into Washington DC and back when we wanted to. The kitchen was stocked with every cooking utensil, dishes and spices that we could ever need. Communication with the host was excellent. We have nothing but positive feedback and would definitely return.
We were amazed at all the upgrades this old house has. The modern kitchen has everything we could have wanted plus. The bedrooms and bedding were very comfortable and we were astounded at all the extras the hostess had on hand. Nice location right off King street.
Check-in very easy. Great kitchen, great bedrooms, great back patio. Loved that they made the whole process so easy. I’ve started to realize that people with beautiful homes are far less demanding in their checkout process then people with homes that need help. This place was outstanding.
Beautiful, comfortable, and very clean. Tastefully decorated. So close to restaurants, trolly car, and Metro. Just parked car and walked and took trolly everywhere. We will definitely stay here again.
We went with a group of couples and this property was great for a group of 6. It was very clean and comfortable. Everyone remarked on how comfortable the beds were. The basement area was good for gathering with comfortable couches and a larger tv. We also enjoyed spending time out on the patio, even though it was late February. The location is great, we were able to park our car and forget it for our stay. Check out process was very simple.
The house is gorgeous, well-stocked and exactly as advertised. The house is newly renovated with high end finishes and stocked with luxurious towels and other supplies. We really appreciated that everything was labeled and well-organized. The location was perfect for our girls trip to the DC area. Walking distance to the Metro and to Old Town Alexandria shops, restaurants and waterfront. Overall, this is the best property, I've found in my VRBO experience.
Not a brag, just a statement of fact-we’ve stayed in a lot of VRBOs over the past decade plus, and this is one of the best. Staying here really made our vacation-if you can call
it that when you’re retired. We were close to restaurants and retail, with a doable walk to the Metro. The renovated kitchen wanted for nothing, the beds were comfy, and the outdoor area was cozy. It was so nice to spend a day exploring, and come ‘home’ to this property, because that’s what it felt like. There are stairs, so keep that in mind.
This is a wonderful home in a great location! The space is very clean and updated. The owner is attentive and very nice, took a call from me on our first evening there to help me figure out the internet (our toddler monitor wasn’t connecting to wifi). She was so helpful and responsive. She even allowed us to extend our check out by 1 hour! Location is very convenient. It can get a bit noisy with sirens due to a nearby fire station, but my family mostly slept through it! The beds were extremely comfortable.
This is one of the best rentals I've stayed at - the backyard space was beautiful (tons of seating), the fridge and freezer are spacious, and there's TONS of kitchenware. Beds were very comfortable.
It was the perfect spot to take advantage of great weather the weekend of the Marine Corps Marathon. Loved that this was within a 15 minute walk to the King St Metro & 20+ minute walk down to the waterfront along King Street. Also within walking distance of Trader Joe's if you don't want to rent a car, but it certainly is a walk.
Only downside was the sirens from ambulances going by throughout the weekend, for anyone sensitive to the noise.
Would definitely recommend this location!
We had a great stay at this wonderful home right off King Street. The location was great for a week trip to see the sights around DC. Not too far to the Metro. We caught the trolly several times but walked the whole street many times.
The host was very quick at responding to our inquiries. The house was fully stocked in the kitchen and plenty of towels in the bathrooms.
There was a cold snap while we were there and the two fireplaces warmed us up quickly. We appreciated the extra space in the basement to recover from our long days out.
We hope to book again someday!
My wife and I spent the month of February in 2023 and 2024 in this house as a midwinter escape from Maine. The house is beautifully decorated, outfitted, and maintained, just as shown in the photos. And the location can’t be beat, just a half-block off King Street, about 1/3 mile walk to the Metro and a mile down to the river. Fantastic place for walkers. We have not used a car while here, but have either walked, used the Metro, or Ubered everywhere. (There’s also the free King Street shuttle if you don’t want to walk.) The owner is local and very responsive to any communication or need. Only negative I can think of is the thin shared wall of this 19th Century wood-framed house means there is noise transmission between the adjoining houses, but it mostly amounts to some floor creaking when occupants in either house are moving about, something that didn’t bother us at all. We love staying here!
We had a great time in Alexandria!! Danelle was a pleasure to work. The house is amazing, very well kept, clean and spacious for our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teenage girls). It's right off King street and a few minutes walk to the Metro (we did a day trip to the National mall). Tons of great eating spots. Check out Midnight Treats if you are looking for some treats for the kiddos! It recently opened the weekend of our arrival. It's a block from the house, all vegan ingredients, delicious huge cookies and shakes. Many great places to eat (we ate at a number of restaurants, all were great). The house itself was very modern, nice size kitchen with a view of the patio. Beds were super comfortable. This place was stocked with all you will need for a comfortable stay e.g. toiletries, linens, pots/pans, modern appliances (but with so many great places to eat, the kitchen got very little use, although it was nice to know we could cook a nice meal if we wanted too). We parked on the street and did not move the car the entire time. Danelle provided a parking pass for our stay. There are noise detectors in the house, we were a little apprehensive, but we carried on as normal and did not feel uncomfortable. We visited many of the Alexandria's museums and historic sites. We also spent sometime at the National Harbor, Georgetown, and Mount Vernon. If you are thinking about staying here, I highly recommend.
The host was very responsive with any and all questions we messaged her with prior to our visit. She provided us with a parking pass as we rented a car (due to needing a car seat for my 11 month old). Parallel parking on the street was usually available for us during the week. A car is definitely not necessary though and if we came back without kids I would plan to Uber or walk most places.
The location of this unit in Old Town Alexandria was fantastic! Easy to walk out the door and around the corner to start shopping, eating and drinking on King Street. We had great weather during our stay and walked down to the Potomac to eat most meals with a view of the water. Highly recommend Vola’s, Hummingbird and Charter House for fresh seafood options and great drinks!
We had hoped to go into DC, which we discovered would have been fairly easy from this location using public transportation, but we honestly enjoyed Old Town so much we did not feel the need to leave!
The unit was professionally cleaned prior to our arrival. The host was kind enough to let us check in a few hours early! The kitchen is well organized and has everything you need-including a separate wine fridge! Great dining room with lots of seating. The outdoor space was a huge bonus and could easily seat a large group of people. The bedrooms were very nicely decorated with very comfortable beds. The bathrooms all appeared to be updated somewhat recently. Perfect space for our family get away!
Danelle was very responsive. There almost wasn't a time that I could not reach her. The property was beautiful, cleanly maintained, and had just about anything you could need. It had chargers for phones in case you forgot them; most anything you could need to care for a baby/young children including monitors, gates, and bathers; and even had extra toiletries in case you forgot them. The only challenge we had was parking. Make sure to request your parking pass before you go, only park in the spots marked for passes (my own mistake), and know that others live in the area and you may need to walk from your parking spot. Overall, we were beyond impressed. This was our first VRBO and we do plan to use them again. My wife and I have even talked about going back to Alexandria for a trip for just us and using this home again.
