Alexandria - Minutes from 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 spacious 3 story townhome has free residential garage parking, driveway parking and free street parking. Set in a charming neighborhood of Alexandria, enjoy long walks along side-walked streets to view nearby historic homes. Drive 10 mins to Old Town Alexandria with a straight shot down historic King street. Drive 10 minutes via 395 to cross the Potomac into our Nations Capitol, Washington DC. You may also take advantage of one of the several bike/scooter shares that are offered in the area.

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 about 2 miles from the King Street Metro Station and a little over 2 miles to the Braddock Street Station. There is a bus stop at the end of our block 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 10 mins by car and probably 25-30 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: Not really an option from the house, but fun nonetheless if you're in Old Town. 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. That said the closest spot you could pick it up would be about 2 miles down towards Old Town.

**There are also ample Uber and Lyft rides in the area.

Very clean

It’s always a challenge to find a property with en suite bathrooms for 3 or 4 couples at a fairly reasonable price and in a good location. And, despite being next to a high school with the accompanying traffic, it was reasonably quiet. We would definitely stay there again.

Spent a great week enjoying the sights in DC. Our stay at this property made it easy since its location was great. The place was very clean, practical, and had every amenity we needed. Would recommend it highly to friends and will try to stay here again next time we are in DC. There are several very good eating establishments nearby, a pharmacy and grocery store which made it extremely convenient. Hosts were outstanding.

Elegant, well appointed townhouse

Five adult family members stayed in this house for nearly a week at Christmas while visiting other family members with young children. The house was perfect for us. Every detail has been considered and offered.The kitchen is exceptionally well outfitted, there is a very good washer and dryer, every couple had their own attached bath, the closets are spacious, there is a small outdoor space with a grill and a fire pit, and on and on. And even though it is close to a busy road, it was very quiet inside. However, is definitely a house for adults, not small children.I hope this house is still a short-term rental when we visit Alexandria again.

Perfect for Any Occasion

This is one of the best VRBO locations. The home is built and decorated with guests in mind. The home is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The beds were comfy and the each bedroom had a full bathroom connected to them. This allow for guests to truly gave their own space and then shared common areas. There are lots of boutique diners and shops within a two-block radius. The hosts were nice and prompt to respond. I would 100% recommend for a weekend stay.

Perfect Location-Perfect Floor Plan!

The floor plan is ideal. Each bedroom has its own bathroom (and a half-bath on the main floor). The design works great for family gatherings because there is ample space for privacy and to relax. The home is conveniently located with easy access to necessities (grocery stores, gas station, pharmacies, etc.) and just a short drive to Old Town. The owners are a pleasure and are extremely responsive. Highly recommend!
