We stayed with 10 Adults and had plenty of room. We just had to coordinate our showers. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the historic charm of this cozy house. It is close to all the great places to visit in Alexandria and only a short trip to Mount Vernon and DC. The Host was very helpful and parking was easy.

This home was perfect for our stay and expectations. This is an older historic home and the hosts did a great job maintaining its charm while also providing the modern necessities of being comfortable when traveling. We really enjoyed our stay. Alexandria has a free trolley through the town and this home is located in a very walkable are to great restaurants and shops .

The property was fantastic for our needs! Beautiful home, well kept, very clean, and great location. Katie was super responsive and helpful with my questions. The parking for this property is a little tough, but that is the nature of Old Town. We had a wonderful stay, would definitely recommend!

This place was at a great location that is walking distance to many cafes and restaurants on King Street. The place itself was very spacious with an amazing layout that easily accommodated our party of 6. A few things to note is that the stairs were pretty steep as it is an old Alexandrian townhome. Additionally, the parking is street parking but you can ask for parking passes and it was pretty easy to find parking close to the Airbnb. All in all, my family and I would book this Airbnb when we visit Alexandria again.
