Alexandria - Heart of Old Town ⊹ Minutes from D.C ⊹ Minutes from The George Washington Masonic Memorial ⊹ George Washington's Mount Vernon ⊹ Fine Dining ⊹ Micro Breweries ⊹ Coffee Shops ⊹ Bakeries ⊹ Public Transit (VRE/Metro) ⊹ Shopping ⊹Alexandria Waterfront

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 less than ¾ of a mile from the King Street Metro Station and a little over a ½ mile to the Braddock Street Station. There is a bus stop near by 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 3 mins by car and probably 10-15 mins to walk to Braddock Station 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 3 blocks 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!
Laurie and Collin

This home provides self check-in through a smart-lock located on the front entry door. A code will be provided to you after you book with us.

Please remember that you're staying in our home, not a hotel. Please treat the space and our neighbors with the same respect you would show your own home.

If any problems arise throughout your stay, we will do our best to assist you as soon as possible. However, there is no one living on site 24/7.

Please note that profiles with a lower review rating of 4 stars will not be allowed to book utilizing "instant booking." If for some reason the platform confirms your reservation, the reservation may be cancelled at the host's discretion. For guests with new profiles without reviews, these requests will be reviewed manually and are subject to screening before a reservation is confirmed.

Cancellation Policy: Full refund for cancellations made within 48 hours of booking, if the check-in date is at least 14 days away. 50% refund for cancellations made at least 7 days before check-in. No refunds for cancellations made within 7 days of check-in. That said, Laurie and I understand things can happen. Should you need to cancel outside of your window and we are able to rebook, we always provide what we can back to the original guest to help out. It often depends on when the cancellation happens. If it's closer to the reservation date, then it's harder to book and we typically discount the property. In those instances we obviously may not be able to provide a full refund. In any case, know that we are always willing to try to work with our guests on issues that may come up.
*Note about Credit card fees: Unfortunately we can not recoup these costs once processed. Please note, fees will be deducted from all refunds.

Loved our stay!
My family and I rented Collin and Laurie’s home for nearly a month, and we were very happy with our stay. The home was well equipped with everything we needed, even for an extended stay, and the beds were comfortable. The house was also incredibly centrally located - we rarely had to take the car out of the very convient parking spot out back. Collin and Laurie were also incredibly responsive and great hosts. Highly recommend!

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.
