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 a little less than a mile from the King Street Metro Station and a little over 1 mile to the Braddock Street Station. There is a bus stop nearby 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 5 mins by car and probably 15-20 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: You’re about 1 block to King street to pick up the Trolley. 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.

Amazing Girls Weekend Location
The house was beautiful and just perfect for my college roomies to get together to celebrate our 60th birthdays. The beds were so comfy, the layout was perfect for a lovely dinner, game night or just morning coffee. The owners were super responsive when we had questions. Lastly, the location was great for shopping, restaurants and walking along the water. Perfect place to stay at! Highly Recommend!

Beautiful property. Clean. Well appointed and supplied. Excellent and convenient location. Advertised as a 4 bdrm unit but it’s really a 3 bdrm. with a lofted sleeping area included in Bedroom #3. There is no wall or door dividing the spaces. Also, there is no closet in the loft.

Perfect stay in DC
Our family of four enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Old Town Alexandria property. The location was perfect for walking around Old Town and we were able to get into DC within 15-20 minutes. The communication was exceptional and our hosts Laurie and Collin were always quick to respond when we had any concerns.

Perfect property
This property is roomy and comfortable. It is just blocks from waterfront and a fun, easy 20 min walk to Metro - shops, restaurants, coffee shops- through the heart of old town. Many historic buildings in neighborhood as well. The area is safe and you feel safe as well. The property helped make our stay a great one!

Great Spot
We really enjoyed this home. The location is awesome! The property is very clean and the kitchen is well equipped for large parties. The bathrooms are clean and have nice touches of cotton swabs and q tips as well as hair dryers. There were plenty of towels for everyone. The only suggestion I would make for improvement is bath mats in the bathrooms for getting out of the shower. Since there were so many towels we just used those. Also, the floor in the bathtub/shower in the downstairs bedroom was very slippery so becareful not to slip there. Next time we come back to the area we will definitely stay here again.
