Important extras to mention:



NO SMOKING:

No smokers please! If you are a smoker, this is not the good space for you to choose. I have severe sensitivity to smoke. There is absolutely no smoking inside my apartment and there is not a comfortable to sit and smoke immediately outside either.

SURROUNDING AREA:

Walking distance to great restaurants, King Street, two metro stops (Braddock Road and King Street), Trader Joe's, Harris Teeter, and Water Taxis into National Harbor, Washington Harbor and Georgetown. Quick train or Uber to DCA and Washington DC.

ACCESSIBILITY:

There are six steps down to your front door entrance. Inside there are two steps down into the bedroom.

NOTES ON OUR SHARED ROWHOUSE:

We live in the floors above, please note that similar to a hotel/apartment building, you may hear us moving around. There are just two adults and no children here and we make every effort to be considerate housemates.

We have a mini dachshund that lives with us upstairs. She is never in the space that you will occupy.

THERMOSTAT:

Also, please note that temperature control is on the floor above you. We recognize that "comfortable" is subjective. We do our best to seek just the right temperature. In the cooler months we have electric heaters for those who want it warmer.

CANCELLATION POLICY/TRAVEL INSURANCE:

Even the best laid plans can change, and that includes trips. Given the unpredictability of travel interruptions, such as, weather, family emergencies, sudden illness, natural disaster, etc., we highly recommend our guests purchase travel insurance or review any credit card benefits to protect their vacation investment. Most policies require that purchase be made within 48 hours of booking.  We are unable to make exceptions to our cancellation policy for events outside our control that do not impact the suitability of our dwelling, but happy to provide any documentation to support insurance claims.

Felt like we were at home
The townhome provided excellent accommodations. It had all the required amenities, making us feel completely at home. We knew where everything was, and we lacked nothing! Checking in and accessing the home was effortless, and it was conveniently located within walking distance of the charming King Street. Since we frequently visit family in the area, we'll definitely be staying here again.

Amazing place!!!
If you’re going to Wash DC this is a great find. You’re in a very quiet neighborhood, short 9min walk to the metro (or you can take the bus), few blocks from the river area, few blocks King Street where tons of yummy food is. If you’re driving an EV the charging station is half a block away. Rebecca is a super great host and is there should you need anything. It got a bit chilly and she made sure we had everything to stay warm. The apartment is very well maintained and super clean. She even had most of the major streaming platforms for something before bed. I can’t say enough how great of a find this was :)

Great apartment and location
The apartment was perfect. The location was within walking distance to the Metro and Old Town. Rebecca the host thought of everything you may want or need. Several examples - umbrellas by the door in case it rains, bottled water in the refg, snacks, K-Cups for the coffee maker, etc. If you are looking for a place to stay in the DC area this is it.

Great location
Apartment is clean and cozy with everything you could want. It is a basement but daylight windows in bedroom and one higher window in living room. Very quiet for sleeping and comfortable bed and cotton sheets and duvet. Easy walk to river, Trader Joe’s, and light rail. Neighborhood felt very safe to walk day and night.

The location is great and there is so much to see and do in Old Town Alexandria. Or simple to venture out into DC, MGM or Mount Vernon. We’ll return for sure!

A home away from home
We couldn’t imagine a better place to stay for a day, a week or longer. It is very comfortable, it’s in a perfect Old Town location, and restaurants, historic locations and shops are within short walks. Rebecca is a wonderful host, and her thoughtful touches throughout the flat—well-placed nightlights, snacks and coffee, unique artwork—made us feel very welcome and at home. We would not hesitate to return.
