Old Town Alexandria ⊹ 1 block from Market Square ⊹ 1 block from King Street ⊹ Walk to everything in 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 a little less than a mile from the King Street Metro Station and a little over 1 mile to the Braddock Street Station. There is a bus stop nearby 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 5 mins by car and probably 15-20 mins to walk it 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 1 block 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.
PARKING:
**PLEASE BE CONSCIOUS OF OUR NEIGHBORS PARKING SPOTS**
You may park in the free private parallel parking spot in front of the gray garage or if your vehicle is small enough you may also park in the garage itself. Parallel parking is from the edge of our door to the edge of our garage. Large SUVs, full size trucks, and vans may be too large for this spot and we would please ask you be conscious of our neighbors and find parking elsewhere should your vehicle be too large. There is paid street parking available all over OldTown, download the Parkmobile app if you plan to park around town...although you can walk everywhere from here. You can open the garage from the inside once you've gained access to the home. Unfortunately, there is no garage door opener remote. There is a paid parking garage directly across the street and an open air lot about 2 blocks west on Cameron should you need additional parking.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
Cancellation policies vary by booking platform. For direct bookings and VRBO, credit card processing fees are non-refundable in cases where a full refund applies. Refer to the booking platform for full cancellation terms.

This 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.
