Weekend Escape
We enjoyed a long weekend in Alexandria. This property is well-located, a quick walk to the popular King Street which was very convenient. The space is a studio apartment, so it is small, but I found it comfortable and clean.

Amazing Location! Everything you need!
We had an amazing time staying here. The location was located in the heart of downtown but on a less trafficked street which made it ideal for parking and noise. Beautiful space, nice decor and east access to it all!
