Short Trip to Old Town Alexandria

We were in town for the K-pop concert. We stayed at the property for 2 days. It was a great place to stay, clean, comfortable and accommodating. I recommend the property to anyone visiting the DC area. We plan on staying here again next time we visit the DC area.

Quirky, comfy and perfectly located!

Quirky in a great way! It is a historic home and this was a history vacation for us. It has a step up into the master bedroom, narrow yet navigable (and beautifully painted) stairs and creaky floors. All things we love about old houses. House was beautifully appointed with a lot of thought and care. The location is fantastic! We walked to the King St. metro station every morning and took the free trolley back every evening. It’s very close to restaurants, shopping, and anything else one might need. There were 3 of us and it perfectly suited our needs. Communication was lightning fast when I failed to follow directions and inadvertently locked us out of the house. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

This historic 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.
