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 a little less than a mile from the King Street Metro Station and a little over 1 mile to the Braddock Street Station. There is a bus stop nearby 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 5 mins by car and probably 15-20 mins to walk it 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 1 block 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.

Please just let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!

Perfect Location

Had a terrific stay in Alexandria and the location could be better. House was very clean upon our arrival. Beds were comfortable and plenty of linens provided. The host were very engaged throughout the entire process and always responded very quickly to any questions or concerns. Would for sure stay here again. The house was only a couple blocks from King Street and a Trolley Pickup. It made exploring the area super easy.

Family wedding

We had a wonderful trip. The house was in a great location, it suited our needs, and the parking was a breeze. We enjoyed the separation of a bedroom on the bottom floor and the other bedrooms on the top floor. Gave everyone a little sense of privacy. We would definitely rent this home the next time we're in Washington DC.

We stayed here for a bachelorette party in early February. The house was perfect. The location was amazing, kitchen was stocked with all of the necessary cooking utensils and the little backyard was so cute. The hosts were extremely responsive and attentive. It was one of the easiest check in processes I’ve ever had.

This home is part of a highly sought after neighborhood in OldTown Alexandria. The history of Alexandria, Virginia, begins with the first European settlement in 1695. Over the next century, the town became a significant port. In 1801, much of Alexandria was swept into the new District of Columbia; it was damaged along with much of the rest of the capital during the War of 1812. In 1846, Alexandria was returned to Virginia, along with the rest of the District's territory on the western side of the Potomac River. After Virginia seceded in 1861, Alexandria was swiftly captured by Union forces and held for the remainder of the American Civil War. In the late 20th century, Alexandria became a key part of the rapidly growing Northern Virginia region.

Alexandria is safe, walkable and close to everything. We love being here and know you will too.

What makes this property unique

Each of our homes has been meticulously designed by Laurie, with its own theme and personality — from curated furnishings to custom hand-painted murals that bring the space to life. Every property is cleaned to the highest standards and prepared with thoughtful touches to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

All of our locations are perfectly situated in Alexandria, walkable to shops, dining, and the waterfront, and close to everything in Old Town and the greater D.C. area. We believe the combination of design, location, and care is what makes our properties truly special.
