Corner windows catch the morning light in this 1860 landmark - once a furniture factory, now a 2BR corner suite where industrial heritage meets boutique design. Bold art commands attention. King Street views unfold from the primary bedroom. Chef's kitchen, in-unit laundry, soaring ceilings. Second-floor location, steps from Old Town's waterfront and 100+ restaurants. Rare in every sense. Dogs welcome.

ABOUT LOVABLESTAYS

The King Street Suite is managed by LovableStays. We've been managing distinctive properties across Alexandria since 2019, and The King Street Suite represents exactly what we look for: exceptional design in an unbeatable location.

We're not a faceless corporation or an absentee host - we're local Alexandria specialists who care deeply about your experience and know our city inside and out.


OUR APPROACH

We believe in giving you space and privacy to enjoy your Alexandria adventure while being genuinely available when you need us. You'll never feel like we're hovering, but you'll also never feel abandoned.

Approximately 48 hours before check-in, we'll send you a comprehensive digital guidebook that includes:
- Entry code for keyless access

DURING YOUR STAY

We're available to help with:

- Activity suggestions based on your interests
- Any questions about the suite or its amenities
- Problem-solving (though we work hard to prevent issues before they arise)

Contact us anytime between 8 AM and 10 PM. We typically respond within 1-2 hours during these hours, often much faster.

For after-hours emergencies (10 PM - 8 AM), we provide an emergency contact number for urgent issues only (no heat, water leak, lockout, etc.).


AFTER YOUR STAY

We genuinely appreciate feedback - it helps us continue to improve. If something wasn't perfect, please tell us directly so we can make it right. If you loved your stay, we'd be grateful for an honest review.


WHAT WE WON'T DO

- Bother you with unnecessary check-ins
- Enter the property during your stay (except for emergencies or with your permission)
- Share your information with third parties
- Make you feel like a transaction rather than a guest


OUR PROMISE

We treat every guest the way we'd want to be treated: with respect, responsiveness, and genuine hospitality. This suite is a space we're genuinely proud of, and we want your experience to match the design intention that went into creating it.
