About this property

Get cozy in the heart of Old Town Alexandria on the Washington Family Property

Located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, ground level. One of two apartments that make up the carriage house on this 1700’s era historical property. This unit has a full kitchen and a washer/dryer, large smart TV, and an adorable, comfy reading nook. Updated appliances along with a small electric fireplace for ambiance (not wood due to guest safety) provide for a wonderful stay in Old Town on the oldest functioning property in Old Town, dating back to 1750. The charm and location are incomparable.

Perfect space, perfect location
This rental is perfect for 1-2 guests. Has all the amenities and steps away from King Street restaurants and the water. King Street metro is about 15-20min walk. Would definitely stay here again! Thomas was also very responsive to messages.

Incredible location!
Wow- this might be one of my favorite places I’ve stayed! My husband and I were visiting DC for the first time and decided to stay in old town Alexandria and this place was PERFECT! Literally a few steps away from all of the amazing restaurants and shops, but still tucked away enough to feel private. We had so much fun walking to coffee shops every morning and exploring the beautiful houses around Alexandria! We paid to park right across the street, and the metro was only a short (and scenic!) walk away so that made things very easy. Such a fun town and fun experience! I would highly recommend- you can’t get a location better than this one! And the house was soo cute and cozy!

Never again
Fridge didn’t work. I needed to defrost and clean for it to work. Shower curtain mildewed. I cleaned and left cleaner spray. Garbage disposal inoperable Upholstery torn on chair. Missing can opener. I bought new and left. Owner did refund some. All this is minor but what is a huge issue is that at 12:30am Saturday night a middle aged male unlocked the door and let themselves in. I was with my 8yo daughter and this is not acceptable. There is no deadbolt to keep out “uninvited “ guests. Not a good experience. Never again. Not recommended.

Love!
So perfect! I booked this property for a short work trip. I wanted a place that was close enough to my office, but still had (walkable) things to do while not at work. I was not disappointed! I was super close to all of the shops and restaurants on King St., and a very short walk to the waterfront. The apartment itself was so cozy, and perfect for a solo trip or a trip for a couple. The owners were very kind and prompt with their communications with me. 100% will book again if I'm ever in the area :)

Cozy, well thought out Studio Apartment with everything you need in a great location two blocks from the Potomac River Cruises and Water Taxi and a couple minutes walk to multiple top notch restaurants. Short walk to the Visitor Center and Market Square to catch the free Hop On Trolley to the King Street Station Metro and Amtrak Station, Thiessman's Restaurant and the path to the George Washington Masonic Memorial which is an architectural gem! I met Thomas the Owner, a wonderful human being and Super Host!

Ultimate Old Town / DC Stay
Immaculate condition, so comfortable, location is incredible. Literally 50 feet from historic King St. in Old Town Alexandria, and a 1 minute walk to the water. Restaurants and shopping everywhere in Old Town plus water taxi (ferry) to DC Wharf, National Harbor, or Georgetown. 10 minutes to downtown DC monuments, museums, etc. Safe. Owner communication perfect. Thank you! Will be back!

This is a historic property which has been turned into a comfortable studio apartment. The best part is that you literally step outside your door and you’re in the heart of Old Town. The host was very accessible when I needed help getting in. It was a great weekend getaway.

Carriage house
The carriage house is perfectly located by all the shops and restaurants downtown. It has a great courtyard that is shared with the oldest inhabited property in Alexandria with a couple of fire pits and lots of comfortable seating. The host was more than accommodating and easily accessible. Definitely recommend.

Great location!!
One block from the waterfront, and right off King, which has everything you’ll ever need in OTX! (Except a grocery store—but those are just a few blocks away!). I just moved out of Old Town last year, so I’m biased, but Alexandria is pretty awesome. The property is super cute and priced less than area hotels. I popped in for the Parkway Classic, and was able to walk to my cheer spot, meet my friends so they could change at my place, and then walk to brunch. Everything is very accessible.

This place was everything I could want in a cozy, historic hideaway right by all the shops and restaurants in Old Town, but just off the beaten path, so it was both comfortable and convenient. Charming, historic and warm, perfectly clean and organized, and has a very quaint and inviting courtyard. I loved this place! can't wait to go back. Thank You! David C. NJ

About the host

Hosted by Thomas

Host profile image
As a veteran, I renovated this property to restore a part of American history. It is located on the oldest functioning property in Old Town, which dates back to 1750. The original owner of the property was Lawrence Washington, George Washington's half brother. Truly, you will be walking in the unique footsteps of pre-revolutionary American heros.

Why they chose this property

Location:
At this location, you would be 50 feet from the intersection of King and Lee Street, which is the most popular location of all the best restaurants in Old Town, all of which have outdoor seating. Additionally you would be just a block and a half from the Potomac and the park that runs along the water (with ferry access) all the way to DC. You simply cannot beat this location.

Parking:
There is on-street paid parking from Monday through Saturday, and street parking is always free on Sundays and federal Holidays. Unpaid parking is available 150 feet (west) in the Burke and Herbert parking lot after 5pm on weekdays and after 1pm on Saturdays. You also have the option to park at the covered garage immediately across the street between Lee and Union Street (115 S Union Street) for $15 per day and $10 overnight (sign details below). There are 3 other lots all in about a 1.5 block radius as well with similar rates.

Metro/Trolley Service:
A benefit of the location is that the King Street Trolley is a free shuttle that runs to the metro every 15 minutes. It starts one block from the house (City Hall/Market Square) and ends at the King Street Old Town Metrorail station. It runs from 11am to 11pm, seven days a week, including holidays.

What makes this property unique

This is the oldest functioning property in Old Town, which is the closest property to the intersection of King and Lee Street. Truly the heart of one of the most iconic small towns and the most beautiful streets in America.
