About this property

Discover Alexandria's charm, just 10 minutes from D.C.'s monuments and museums

Enjoy our delightful three-bedroom retreat nestled in north Old Town, Alexandria. It's a quick car ride to Washington's famous monuments, the scenic National Mall and museums. Enjoy the convenience of free WiFi, a washing machine and dryer, and smart TVs to unwind after a day of exploring.

Prepare delectable meals in the fully stocked kitchen, equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, grill, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, kettle, blender, and toaster, not to mention dishes and utensils. Eat indoors or on the patio. Refresh in the two bathrooms, stocked with towels, basic soaps, and a hair dryer, and stay comfortable with the air conditioning, heating, and fresh linens.

Or eat out at the excellent neighborhood restaurants around the corner (Vaso's, our favorite, offers a discounted meal to our guests) or walk to shops and eateries on Old Town's King Street (20-25 minute stroll). We're also a quick 15-20 minute walk to the Braddock Road metro stop.

Catch up on reading with the selection of books, or get some work done at the desk and chair in the office area. Enjoy the great outdoors on the patio furniture, or simply relax and recharge in the comfort of your home away from home.

At day's end rest on the top-rated Leesa mattresses in the upstairs bedrooms.

Cozy town home in a perfect location

We were in town for a cheerleading competition. This townhouse was in the perfect location. The house had so much space and it was perfect. If we come back to town we will definitely be repeat customers.

So glad we picked this rental property.

This property was better outfitted compared to other VRBO properties that we have rented in the past. Everything that you need for a stay in the Alexandria/Washington DC area. We were there with six people and this property was very comfortable for everyone. Easy access to the METRO and Alexandria free bus transportation. We did use an Uber to and from the airport due to our luggage. We were very happy and would return if we are ever in that area and need a rental home.

Clean and convenient

This townhome was a perfect location for visiting D.C. and Old Alexandria. Only a ten minute drive via the George Washington Parkway to D.C. from here. Upstairs had two bedrooms with a fairly small bathroom between the two. There was another full bathroom in the basement. Enjoyed having a nice size TV in the bedrooms. Kitchen was stocked with cooking necessities. No spices so bring your own. Would definitely stay here again.

Thanks for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and you would be most welcome back. Fair point about the spices -- we'll remedy that before your next stay.
