Alexandria - Heart of Old Town ⊹ Minutes from D.C ⊹ Minutes from The George Washington Masonic Memorial ⊹ George Washington's Mount Vernon ⊹ Fine Dining ⊹ Micro Breweries ⊹ Coffee Shops ⊹ Bakeries ⊹ Public Transit (VRE/Metro) ⊹ Shopping ⊹Alexandria Waterfront 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 less than ¾ of a mile from the King Street Metro Station and a little over a ½ mile to the Braddock Street Station. There is a bus stop near by 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 3 mins by car and probably 10-15 mins to walk to Braddock Station 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 3 blocks 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.

The home was well equipped with everything we needed, even for an extended stay, and the beds were comfortable. The house was also incredibly centrally located - we rarely had to take the car out of the very convient parking spot out back. Collin and Laurie were also incredibly responsive and great hosts.

Nov 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect place in Old Town Alexandria!! We brought our family of 5 for a vacation and loved this property as our home base. The property was very clean and the layout was great for our needs. The home itself was lovely and we enjoyed having space for family movie nights after a long day of museum hopping! It was wonderful to have a parking space, but we utilized the free Alexandria Trolley and Metro for our trips to downtown. The area itself is full of shops and fantastic restaurants, so there were plenty of family friendly food options for the kids. Overall, this was a wonderful family trip made better by this lovely home. Thanks to the hosts for opening this gem to us!! We would definitely stay here again! ##### Leah L. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Leslie M. Nov 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great location in Alexandria The property is in a great location for staying in Alexandria. One is able to walk to restaurants and old town Alexandria. The only drawback to the location is that it is located on a busy street. The property owner/managers were very easy to communicate with, very helpful with additional information like parking and public transport and sincerely wanted to assist with our stay. Also, the property is not really 3 separate bedrooms. There is a double bed in a small room off the master bedroom, but it is really only suitable for 2 children that can share a bed. Also, it is off the master so the occupants of the master must walk through it to exit. ##### Leslie M. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacey M. Jul 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 5️⃣⭐️Clean & Yes it’s actually comfortable!! We traveled up from SC for a quick two night getaway. We were greeted with a welcome note and a bottle of wine. Y’all the pictures don’t do it justice. Very comfortable for a family, keep in mind like many other row houses bedrooms are upstairs. A major plus for me was the king bed in MB, it’s a wonderful mattress. Not worn out! The MB which is top back room is large & has plenty of room for longer visits. The MB bed had sheets that felt better than any luxury sheets at a 5star hotel & extra (nice) pillows. Let me say this to all my FAN lovers. I had a “hallelujah” moment immediately when I saw the large tripod floor fan in the MB. The fan is heavy & blows!! It also has the best sound to sleep to. House was nice & cold when we arrived, the kitchen felt brand new. It was nicely stocked, had a wonderful stocked tea/coffee bar, Ice was stocked when we arrived, microwave is tucked underneath in cabinet, & a wonderful private fenced backyard which lead to private parking. We had plenty of room for our large four door Ram truck & another car if needed. Easy check in & the host was quick to respond to my question's about the neighborhood restaurants. I highly suggest, Tatte Bakery & Cafe. You won’t regret anything you pick to eat especially from the bakery & the GF menu is to die for!! It’s an easy walk to so many great places, cute stores, convenient stores & the local dining is some of the best in this area. We learn something new every time we visit. We’ll be back!! ##### Stacey M. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Kay H.

Parked 2 cars in back & walked everywhere. Stocked with coffee and cream, but also a nice coffee/breakfast shop right down the street. Great value & very comfortable for our group of 5 adults. ##### Bob R.
