Great family stay near D.C.
A beautifully updated home in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. Nice extras like coffee, snacks. Easy walk to restaurants and shops. Recommend Uber to D.C. much easier and less expensive than driving and parking. Would definitely use again!

Beautiful, clean and friendly
I rented this property for myself, some fanily, and friends of the family. It was very close to the metro which we utilized, and has a parking garage neqeby which we also utilized. The propoerry itself was very clean, kept and organized. The seating was adequate for entertaining as a group, and the fuseball table was a hit. I left something at the property upon checkout and Erin prompty notified me that she had it in her possession. 5 stars!Thanks!

Beautiful home in a great neighborhood
We had a lovely stay at this home. It’s just as beautiful in person as it is in photos. We easily drove into DC for daytime tourism and had lots of casual options for the evenings in Alexandria. Erin is very responsive— I highly recommend this spot!

A haven close to DC, but not too close
This sweet home is a wonderful historic town-home style haven for a DC stay as a home away from home. A wonderful place to stay after a day of walking around the DC attractions, and just steps away from the quaint Historic Alexandria. We had a car and drove to the Old Town Metro station a few miles away to get into the Capitol area. Worked like a charm. Large, comfy, super clean, and worth the price! Highly recommend! And Erin is amazing to work with.

Highly Recommend!
Our family had an absolutely amazing experience staying at this beautiful home during the Christmas holiday. Recently sold our house of 17 years so this was our first holiday not in our "own" home.The location was perfect—just minutes away from a charming downtown, a stunning lake, and a short drive to the airport. To our surprise and delight, the home was decorated with a festive holiday theme, complete with a Christmas tree where we placed our presents, making it feel so warm and welcoming.The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and truly felt like home. The high-end appliances made cooking a breeze, and the fully stocked spice rack was such a thoughtful touch. We were able to prepare delicious family meals together, which added to the cozy, home-away-from-home vibe.The instructions for entering the home, operating the appliances, and parking were incredibly detailed and easy to follow, which made our stay stress-free. The homeowner went above and beyond, staying in regular communication to ensure everything was going smoothly.When we had a small question about the fireplace key, the homeowner responded quickly and resolved the issue right away. Their attentiveness made us feel so cared for throughout our stay.We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-appointed and thoughtfully managed rental. Our entire family gives it a solid 5-star rating (and trust me, we’re tough critics!).

Charming experience in heart of Old Town
Staying here was a dream come true! I absolutely loved starting the day sitting on a rocking chair enjoying my coffee out on the patio and taking in the peaceful nature. The interior of the home was perfect as well…great styling and very very comfortable beds! Our team loved playing foosball and late night chats in the cozy living room. Much better alternative than staying at the hotel venue for the conference.

Great house, great location
Cozy but spacious. It comfortably fit 4 adults and 3 teens with plenty of room to move around or find a quiet corner. The property and surrounding area are beautiful. The house is located conveniently near King St. but is far enough away (4 blocks) so that there is minimal street traffic noise. The property manager was very pleasant and easy to communicate with. The property was very clean and well cared for. I highly recommend and would definitely love to stay there again!

Little Slice of Hometown Pitt Street ❤️
We couldn't have been more satisfied with our Old Town Home away from home. It was the perfect location for visiting Alexandria and the surrounding DC area. The House was clean, light and airy and decor was lovely. It had all the amenities we needed for our stay. Located In a quiet well well-kept neighborhood. Convenient to old town Alexandria and the Farmers market on Saturday morning. Erin our host knows what is needed for out-of-town guests and was very responsive to our inquiries. Thanks so much. We enjoyed our stay.

5-Star Review: Charming Alexandria Home Near Farmers Market
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely house in Alexandria, VA, and I can't sing its praises enough! From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt right at home. The location is perfect, nestled in a quiet, friendly neighborhood but still close to all the conveniences and attractions that Alexandria has to offer. One of the highlights is that it's within walking distance to the local farmers market, where you can find fresh produce, artisanal goods, and more. It was such a delight to stroll over and pick up ingredients for our meals. The house itself is beautifully maintained and decorated with a perfect blend of modern amenities and classic charm. The living spaces are spacious and comfortable, with plenty of natural light flooding in. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, making it a joy to prepare meals during my stay. The bedrooms are comfortable and beautifully furnished, providing a restful retreat after a day of exploring the area. The bathrooms are clean and well-appointed, with luxurious towels and toiletries provided. The hosts were incredibly responsive and attentive, making sure that every aspect of my stay was perfect. They provided helpful recommendations for local attractions and dining options and were always available to answer any questions I had. Overall, this house in Alexandria, VA, exceeded all my expectations. It's a true gem, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, co

Parking for 1 car is easy. The house is spacious and super clean. The bed in the master bedroom is super comfortable (firm) and the linens are new/nice. There is aslo a supermarket right around the corner, which is very convenient. Check-in process was seamless. Overall, it was a great stay and I highly recommend this rental.

Lovely home in Old Town
This property was even nicer in person. We were in town to attend my husband's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. I had three friends and four family members with me. Everyone had their own space. My son and his three teenagers had the entire downstairs and they were very happy with that area. The adults were very comfortable on the first floor. Very open floor plan which met everyone's needs. I highly recommend this house. It is in a very nice area of Old Town and very close to a grocery store. I will definitely book it again.

Golden Wedding Anniversary Trip
Our immediate family met for a 6 day stay at this beautiful home to celebrate this big occasion. The home was beautifully furnished recently updated with marble in the bathrooms and top notch appliances in the kitchen. It was well stocked with many items to make the stay perfect. It had great accommodations for all of us. It was a convenient location to spend time in Alexandria or take the free trolley to the Metro or head down to the water to catch a Water Taxi to DC. This home was a perfect fit for our needs and I’m sure you will find it the same for your next visit. Thank you Erin for always being there to provide assistance with all our needs. We truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful row house home. This home made our celebration just perfect!
