Beautiful home, wonderful location

Our family enjoyed staying in this home in the heart of Alexandria. It was an easy walk to public transportation and a number of great restaurants. Great place to relax and recoup after a busy day of site seeing.

The PERFECT stay in beautiful Alexandria!

This is, hands-down, the absolute best experience I have ever had at a vacation stay. There is a reason this townhome has a completely 5-star rating: the house, and the owner, are exemplary in every way. From the impeccably-decorated historic home, to the thoughtful gestures by the owner to make sure we had every comfort possible, to the unbeatable location in gorgeous Old Town Alexandria, you can simply not ask for more. We cannot wait to come again!

A perfect place in Old Town

This is the second time we have stayed in this lovely home. The host is wonderful to work with and answers our questions immediately. The home is a blend of history and ultra modern. The parking in the rear is so appreciated. It is so near all the Old Town spots. We love this place!

Fabulous place near DC

We had a great stay at this property. We have stayed in many VRBOs over the last several years and this one is easily in the top 3. There was plenty of space in this home and it had everything we needed. The location was great for touring around Alexandria and it was a short walk to the Metro to spend time in DC. We packed a lot of things into a week, but we'd definitely come back here again in the future.

Wedding Weekend

We were visiting for a family wedding and the house was perfect. The house was very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect. Being just a block and half from King Street, shops and restaurants were easy to get to by walking. Vat was super responsive. Any time I sent a question, she replied extremely quickly. I would highly recommend this property.

Great time in Old Town

This was our first time in Old Town and boy did this home set the bar high! This property was clean and spacious; better than the online pictures. The location is pretty close to D.C. and Georgetown, but there’s a lot to do right there. Plenty of great local restaurants and retail shopping. Vat was absolutely wonderful - kind, informative and very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Vatsana Ross

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.
