Pros and cons
Overall the location was great but it was very noisy/rowdy in the late night hours due to its proximity to King St. The 2nd night, while trying to fall asleep at 1:30am, there was a very loud street sweeper that went back and forth on the street 5 times. So loud we were unable to fall asleep until it finally finished. We had no wifi the 6 days we were there. We contacted the property manager and he said they were having issues & outages through out the area. We were unable to find a way to turn on the recessed lights which made the room very dark. FYI...the bathroom is super tiny!! The double bed was awkward in that it butted up to the wall and the mattress was not comfortable for 2 people. My husband ended up sleeping in the little reading area which worked out better for both of us. The kitchen was great. Overall it was a good location and it provided what we needed.

Cozy and close to the action!
My husband and I stayed from 10/19-11/1 and enjoyed our stay. It was steps away from King St with all the restaurants and close to the Potomac River. There are also various shops and several walking tours. I provided feedback to the owner upon our departure. The space is not “short people” friendly as the shower stream was very high and there were no mirrors that we could use as those were high as well. The bed area did not have shelves to use for our phones to be within reach and the internet was a bit spotty so it needed to be restarted throughout our stay. Overall though, we had a wonderful stay and would choose this location again should we visit in the future! Thomas was very easy to reach and always checked to see if we needed anything. We were very pleased!

This rental is perfect for 1-2 guests. Has all the amenities and steps away from King Street restaurants and the water. King Street metro is about 15-20min walk. Would definitely stay here again! Thomas was also very responsive to messages.

Incredible location!
Wow- this might be one of my favorite places I’ve stayed! My husband and I were visiting DC for the first time and decided to stay in old town Alexandria and this place was PERFECT! Literally a few steps away from all of the amazing restaurants and shops, but still tucked away enough to feel private. We had so much fun walking to coffee shops every morning and exploring the beautiful houses around Alexandria! We paid to park right across the street, and the metro was only a short (and scenic!) walk away so that made things very easy. Such a fun town and fun experience! I would highly recommend- you can’t get a location better than this one! And the house was soo cute and cozy!

Never again
Fridge didn’t work. I needed to defrost and clean for it to work. Shower curtain mildewed. I cleaned and left cleaner spray. Garbage disposal inoperable Upholstery torn on chair. Missing can opener. I bought new and left. Owner did refund some. All this is minor but what is a huge issue is that at 12:30am Saturday night a middle aged male unlocked the door and let themselves in. I was with my 8yo daughter and this is not acceptable. There is no deadbolt to keep out “uninvited “ guests. Not a good experience. Never again. Not recommended.

Love!
So perfect! I booked this property for a short work trip. I wanted a place that was close enough to my office, but still had (walkable) things to do while not at work. I was not disappointed! I was super close to all of the shops and restaurants on King St., and a very short walk to the waterfront. The apartment itself was so cozy, and perfect for a solo trip or a trip for a couple. The owners were very kind and prompt with their communications with me. 100% will book again if I'm ever in the area :)

Cozy, well thought out Studio Apartment with everything you need in a great location two blocks from the Potomac River Cruises and Water Taxi and a couple minutes walk to multiple top notch restaurants. Short walk to the Visitor Center and Market Square to catch the free Hop On Trolley to the King Street Station Metro and Amtrak Station, Thiessman's Restaurant and the path to the George Washington Masonic Memorial which is an architectural gem! I met Thomas the Owner, a wonderful human being and Super Host!

Ultimate Old Town / DC Stay
Immaculate condition, so comfortable, location is incredible. Literally 50 feet from historic King St. in Old Town Alexandria, and a 1 minute walk to the water. Restaurants and shopping everywhere in Old Town plus water taxi (ferry) to DC Wharf, National Harbor, or Georgetown. 10 minutes to downtown DC monuments, museums, etc. Safe. Owner communication perfect. Thank you! Will be back!

This is a historic property which has been turned into a comfortable studio apartment. The best part is that you literally step outside your door and you’re in the heart of Old Town. The host was very accessible when I needed help getting in. It was a great weekend getaway.

Carriage house
The carriage house is perfectly located by all the shops and restaurants downtown. It has a great courtyard that is shared with the oldest inhabited property in Alexandria with a couple of fire pits and lots of comfortable seating. The host was more than accommodating and easily accessible. Definitely recommend.

Great location!!
One block from the waterfront, and right off King, which has everything you’ll ever need in OTX! (Except a grocery store—but those are just a few blocks away!). I just moved out of Old Town last year, so I’m biased, but Alexandria is pretty awesome. The property is super cute and priced less than area hotels. I popped in for the Parkway Classic, and was able to walk to my cheer spot, meet my friends so they could change at my place, and then walk to brunch. Everything is very accessible.
