ICONIC LOCATION
You're staying in one of Old Town Alexandria's most recognized landmarks. This 1800s building anchors a prominent corner and features a striking street art mural that's become one of the most photographed spots in the neighborhood. The ground floor houses a boutique retail shop, adding to the building's vibrant, artistic character.
While the building sits at a prominent corner in the heart of the action, your unit faces a quiet residential side street - giving you the perfect balance of prime location and peaceful nights.
WALKABILITY - NO CAR NEEDED
One of the best things about staying in the heart of Old Town: you don't need a car. The Alexandria Loft puts you within walking distance of everything:
100+ restaurants within walking distance
Potomac River waterfront: 8-minute walk
King Street Metro (Blue/Yellow lines): 7-minute walk
FREE King Street Trolley runs every 15 minutes
Boutique shopping, nightlife, and historic sites
Many guests never move their car from check-in to check-out.
THE LIVING AREA
Step inside to discover an open-concept space where floor-to-ceiling exposed brick walls immediately captivate. These aren't decorative brick facades - these are the original 1800s structural walls of this historic building, showcasing natural variations in color, texture, and the patina of time.
Soaring ceilings with exposed industrial ductwork (painted a warm copper tone as a design feature) amplify the loft's distinctive industrial-chic aesthetic. A floor-to-ceiling brick column anchors the space.
The living area features comfortable seating perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Old Town. A Smart TV is ready for streaming your favorite shows, and the open layout creates an airy, spacious feel despite the loft's cozy footprint.
Natural light fills the space from windows facing a quiet side street - you're steps from King Street's energy but tucked away from the noise for peaceful mornings and restful nights.
THE KITCHEN
The modern kitchen proves you don't have to sacrifice functionality for character. White shaker cabinets and stainless steel appliances create a clean, contemporary counterpoint to the vintage brick. The kitchen island doubles as a breakfast bar with seating for three - perfect for morning coffee or a casual dinner in.
You'll find everything you need:
Full-size refrigerator
Gas range/oven
Microwave
Dishwasher
Coffee maker and toaster
Quality cookware, utensils, and dinnerware
Basic pantry staples (oil, salt, pepper, coffee)
THE BEDROOM
Your private retreat features exposed brick on THREE walls - yes, three walls of authentic 1800s brick creating a dramatic, romantic backdrop. This is the signature feature that makes The Alexandria Loft truly special.
The queen bed is dressed in quality linens, and blackout curtains ensure you can sleep in as late as you'd like. A spacious closet provides plenty of room for your belongings.
The bedroom windows face the same quiet side street as the living area, so you'll wake to soft morning light rather than street noise.
THE BATHROOM
The full bathroom features a classic tub/shower combination - perfect for a relaxing soak after walking Old Town's cobblestone streets. Fresh towels, a hair dryer, and essential toiletries are provided.
IN-UNIT LAUNDRY
A rare amenity in Old Town's historic buildings: your own stacked washer and dryer right in the unit. Pack light knowing you can freshen up your wardrobe anytime. Detergent pods are provided.
FIRST FLOOR LOCATION
This unit is located on the first floor of the building. While there are stairs at the main entrance to reach the lobby, once inside you're immediately at your door - no climbing multiple flights in this historic building without an elevator.
If you're traveling with your dog, you'll appreciate the relatively quick access for outdoor breaks compared to upper-floor units.
SELF CHECK-IN
We offer convenient self check-in via keypad entry - no need to coordinate schedules or wait for a key handoff. Approximately 48 hours before your arrival, you'll receive your personal entry code and step-by-step instructions.

About the host
Hosted by Mark Fahlberg
Welcome! We're LovableBNB, a locally-based property management team specializing in creating exceptional vacation experiences in Alexandria, Virginia.
We've been managing distinctive properties across Alexandria since 2019, and our portfolio now spans the city's most coveted neighborhoods - from Old Town's cobblestone charm and waterfront dining to Del Ray's beloved Mount Vernon Avenue, a thriving stretch with 25+ restaurants, neighborhood coffee shops, and a Saturday farmer's market that's become an Alexandria institution.
We didn't choose Alexandria by accident. We fell in love with its perfect blend of historic character and modern energy - the cobblestone streets, the waterfront sunsets, the incredible restaurant scene, and that small-town community feel just minutes from our nation's capital.
What we love most about being hosts is the opportunity to welcome travelers AND their four-legged companions. The Alexandria Loft is one of our proudest dog-friendly properties, located in a neighborhood that truly celebrates pets with waterfront walks, off-leash parks, and dozens of dog-friendly restaurant patios.
We're not a faceless corporation - we're local Alexandria specialists who care deeply about your experience. We're here to help with restaurant recommendations, dog-friendly spots, or directions to hidden gems that most tourists miss.

Why they chose this property
We chose Old Town Alexandria because it offers something truly special: a historic, walkable neighborhood with world-class dining, stunning waterfront views, and easy Metro access to DC - all while being exceptionally welcoming to dogs.
The Alexandria Loft sits in the heart of it all. You're literally steps from King Street - Alexandria's main corridor with 100+ restaurants, boutique shops, and vibrant nightlife. Walk 8 minutes in one direction and you're at the Potomac River waterfront. Walk 7 minutes the other way and you're at the Metro.
For dog owners, this neighborhood is paradise. The waterfront promenade is perfect for morning and evening walks. Founders Park allows off-leash play before 10 AM and after 6 PM. Dozens of restaurants offer dog-friendly patio seating. It's one of the most pet-welcoming neighborhoods in the entire DC metro area.
What we love most is the neighborhood's authentic character. These cobblestone streets and 18th-century buildings aren't recreations - this is real American history you can walk through. The building itself dates to the 1800s, and you can feel that history in every exposed brick wall.
Plus, the FREE King Street Trolley runs every 15 minutes - perfect for getting around without disturbing your pup's nap back at the loft!

What makes this property unique
Three things make The Alexandria Loft truly special:
DOG-FRIENDLY WITH PERFECT LOCATION:
Finding a quality vacation rental that welcomes dogs is hard. Finding one in a walkable location with waterfront access, off-leash parks, and dozens of dog-friendly restaurant patios? That's The Alexandria Loft. The first-floor location means quick outdoor access for those important breaks - no climbing multiple flights with a leashed pup.
THREE WALLS OF EXPOSED BRICK:
The bedroom isn't just near exposed brick - it's wrapped in it. Three walls of authentic 1800s brick create a dramatic, romantic backdrop that photographs beautifully and feels incredibly cozy. You won't find this level of character in typical vacation rentals.
ICONIC BUILDING:
You're staying in one of Old Town's most photographed buildings. That striking three-story portrait mural on the facade? It's an Alexandria landmark. When you tell friends where you stayed, they'll recognize it immediately. The building's artistic character extends inside with the original copper-toned industrial ductwork preserved as a design feature.
Add in the modern kitchen, in-unit laundry (rare in Old Town's historic buildings), Smart TV with streaming, and a location that puts 100+ restaurants within walking distance, and you have a loft that's not just pet-friendly - it's genuinely exceptional.
We hand-selected this property for the LovableBNB Collection because it captures everything we love about Old Town.
