Loved our stay here. Very convenient to King Street and steps from the waterfront are of King that is blocked off for pedestrians. The free trolley stop and Dash bus stop was steps from our door. We were able to take either of those free to the metro and go wherever we wanted. The apartment was adorable and so easy to find. The structure is older, historic looking, but perfect. Not bright, shiny and new, but had everything we needed. Window air conditioning was a must have. Bed was okay, but after walking all day, it was fine. Living room chairs and couch comfortable. Thank you for the comfortable stay.

Our stay here was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The property was exactly as advertised—beautifully maintained, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable week away.The location was excellent—convenient to Alexandria and DC attractions, restaurants, and shopping while still feeling peaceful and private. We appreciated how easy it was to get around and how comfortable it was to return “home” each evening.Communication with the host was outstanding. They were responsive, helpful, and proactive, making check-in and the entire stay completely stress-free.We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals over the years, and this property ranks among our favorites. It struck the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, cleanliness, and hospitality. We would not hesitate to stay here again and would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.Thank you for helping make our trip so enjoyable!

The location was great. It was quite walkable to transportation, stores and restarants. The bathroom was in need of an update. We had an issue with our payment. We paid through Vrbo and while we were in the unit, we received a call from someone who said we owed more money. My husband paid again for the unit so we wouldn't get kicked out of the unit during our vacation.

A Royal Stay

Great location, very clean and secure. Everything you need is there. I had a little trouble with downloading the instruction pamphlet but the owner was quick to reply with all the information required to make my stay great. Highly recommended to friends, family and anyone else that would like to stay there.

Great Long Weekend!

We loved the cute apartment right in the heart of Old Town. Great location! We walked everywhere and parked in a near by garage. The host was kind and prompt when I had a question about check in. I look forward to staying in this apartment again! So much better than a 1 room hotel .

Excellent location. It’s an 1800’s building so expect narrow and steep stairs as well as tight spaces. It’s comfy for two, three would be a challenge. The two sets of towels we had were quite nice. There was plenty of hot water and water pressure which was a surprise in this old building. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs for the street noise and an eye mask for ambient light from street lights. The apartment could benefit from a deep cleaning.

Ideal location

Property is great location. We drove in from another state, parked in public parking garage for $10 a day. Free trolley runs 11am-11pm. Took the trolley to the metro into DC. Just a few stops from airport as well. So if you do not have your own car really easy to get around. Farmers market is Saturday 7am to ?, so many restaurants on King Street. Close to water. Highly recommend. Our teenager slept on pullout sofa

Old Town

Heart of Old Town offers you that old town loc and feel which is what we were looking for. Unit was clean and well kept. Unfortunately the unit is quite noisy with airport travel and general street conversation which was pretty disturbing at times. Better insulated glass and window air panels might help make a more relaxing stay.. Check in was pretty rough causing us to have to contact the owner on several occasions to gain access. Bathroom sink/drain also needs attention.

As advertised!

Matched the property description exactly -- 1. Clean, modern apartment in a charming old building.2. It was hotter than heck outside, but 2 window A/C units (including 1 in bedroom) were up to the task.3. Comfortable bed, spacious (as compared to typical area) kitchen and living room.4. Location -- Excellent! Have now stayed in 3 areas of ALX, and this was absolutely the best. Literally seconds from King St. Creperie / coffee shop downstairs, even. We ate at 3 staple Old ALX locations, and none was more than 10-minute walk.5. Don't sweat the parking -- I know the property manager has a responsibility to tell you the legal ways / places to park, but if you know a local you can get the real scoop. The bottom line is we were there Sat-Mon and never paid to park.

Fantastic Location

We stayed 4 nights in March 2025. The location of this rental is by far the best in Old Town Alexandria and allows you to walk to everything. Prior to our stay we had communicated with our host via the app. They were quick to respond and sent all the information needed for our stay. I had read there were issues for other guests checking in to the rental and vowed that would not happen to me. It did. The check in info sent via the VRBO app could not be opened or copy/pasted to open elsewhere. We had to contact the host to get into the property since we could not access that info in the app. The host responded and we got in after a few minutes. I would recommend trying to access the check in info before your trip to not run into the same issue. The rental itself is exactly as pictured and described. It was perfect for us and we loved being able to look out the windows to people watch. The bed was very comfy. Extra blanket was available. Bathroom was good. Good shower pressure. No tissues which I thought was odd. We used the laundry in basement and had to call host for key to get access. They were quick to respond. Overall this was a great stay! The location is prime if you want to be in the middle of Old Town. We walked up King Street and caught the free trolley back which was just a few steps away. At night we walked to dinner and entertainment right on the water. There is a great bookstore across the street. I would stay here again and highly recommend.

You couldn't ask for a better location -- right in the heart of Old Town but on a side street so it was still quiet and peaceful late at night. The place was clean, cute, and functional. I appreciated the proactive communication from the host. Two window air-conditioning units kept it perfectly cool and comfortable during the heat wave.Might not be the best choice if you have allergies or physical limitations because of the historic building, but if you can manage stairs and appreciate the authentic charm, you will love it.
