So glad we decided to stay here vs the hotel recommended by our Conference. The house was very spacious with a newer kitchen, large dining room and comfortable living room. Also, really enjoyed the location near (but not on) King Street. Host is a great communicator and accommodating. we had a wonderful time at this house and would highly recommend to others.

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!

This unit is ideal for families who want to be near the restaurants and shops of Old Town Alexandria, and within 1 mile (all level, easy walking) of a Metro stop into DC. It worked great for us. The house was immaculate and well appointed. We had a problem with the air conditioning, and the host had a repair man there withih an hour. We were very well satisfied. .

About the host

Hosted by Vatsana Ross

Host profile image
I was a resident of Old Town Alexandria and have enjoyed the area for decades, due to my work I often travel and will visit the area to see family and friends.

Why they chose this property

The location and walking distance is hard to beat. When you leave the front door, you'll be steps away from history, fun activities, and great food.

What makes this property unique

This property was lovingly restored to incorporate old and new, and the original features, such as the windows, wooden stairs, and brick walls, remain in the house.
