    Great location close to the Old Town Trolley which takes you to the Metro. Easy walk from the house to all of the shopping and restaurants on King Street. Also close to historic Christ Church and other Alexandria landmarks. Our family with four children enjoyed using this as our home base during our Washington, DC vacation. Vat is a superb host and is very responsive. Would definitely plan to return!

    Beautiful home right in old town. Super convenient for walking around with lots of shops (and King St. Night life!) just steps away. Vatsana provided everything we needed and was a terrific host. Will definitely consider staying here again next time we visit!

    This was our third stay at the home. Inside was as great as always. The drive and back parking had some snow and ice through no fault of the owner. Throughout Old Town there were similar conditions. There had been work to make some parking possible. Since the ice was so thick, that must have been extremely difficult. The owner is wonderful to deal with.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in old Towne Alexandria. The house was great. Having the off street parking was huge. Everything else is street parking. The neighborhood is awesome. Safe, clean, and active. You're only a 5 minute walk from the main strip that is lined with restaurants, coffee shops, and stores-- clear to the water front. With a child, we made the whole walk to the water in 15 minutes. Jeni's ice cream is minutes from the house and our kid loved going each night. The house was well decorated, modern, and functional. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen (you will need to bring seasoning, cooking oils but pots and pans are good), and eating in the nice dining room. Beds are comfy, good black out curtains keep street noise and outside light down. Bathrooms are clean and showers with good water pressure. The host was quick to respond, and easy to work with which was greatly appreciated. I really can't stress how nice the location is. 15 min uber to DC museums, 25min Uber to zoo. The Metro is nearby but looked like it'd take an hour to get to the zoo, so we chose Uber.All of that, and a great price. We'd definitely look to come back again (hopefully next time with no government closure.)

    This is a wonderful house in a well kept, safe, and convenient part of historic Old Town Alexandria. The house is very old, but it has been completely modernized. 2 bedroooms, 3 bathrooms, modern kitchen, high efficiency washer and dryer. The bedrooms and showers are upstairs with a fairly steep flight of stairs to climb. Guests with mobility issues might find the stairs to be challenging. Getting to DC (which was the reason for our visit) was easy and fast. We walked 1.5 blocks to catch a free bus. The bus took us for a short ride to the DC metro station. Over all this was a great place to stay for business or pleasure. I will book this house again when I go back to Alexandria for a DC vacation.

    We enjoyed the stay at this lovely restored home. We would suggest providing Kleenex, Extra towels and washcloths. The sheets on one of the beds could have been better as they were “pilled”. Over all, this was a great place to stay and convenient to Old Town and DC! We also appreciated the quick response of our host and her willingness to extend our stay a little bit.

    We took our daughter and her friend to a concert in DC. This location was perfect. Loved that there was a driveway and private back area to relax, though it was far too hot to enjoy it. The back area could use some TLC, but since it was too hot to really spend much time back there, it didn't impact us. The home pretty much had everything you need. We were able to walk to the metro. Record highs and the a/c worked excellent! We will stay here again!

    Our stay was awesome. Convenient to Airport, DC, & Arlington Cemetery. Also, a cute coffeehouse (soon wine) had just opened up across the street. Very good coffee & breakfast items. King street was very entertaining. We spent cocktail hours & dinners there. Our Host, Vat, was amazing. The house is adorable. Perfect for our family of four. And the parking was most convenient with its own private driveway.

There is a reason this townhome has a completely 5-star rating: the house, and the owner, are exemplary in every way. From the impeccably-decorated historic home, to the thoughtful gestures by the owner to make sure we had every comfort possible, to the unbeatable location in gorgeous Old Town Alexandria, you can simply not ask for more.
