Character, charm and location! This trip was tricky with one child staying across the river in MD (we needed to pick her up on a couple occasions) and the rest of us wanting to do all sorts of things in and around DC. Heidi’s place afforded us a quick 8 minute car drive to our daughter, and a 2 minute walk to King Street. We took the 15-20 minute walk to the metro stop (King Street. Station), which is on the yellow and blue lines, for easy and quick trips into DC throughout the week. We could also have orchestrated hopping on the free all day trolley or bus that operates. We were grateful to have a comfortable home base, much larger than I’d expected, with everything we needed. The courtyard was a big bonus for our pup and he also loved the walks we took through this beautiful and historic city. Grateful to have found and chosen this one! What a charming stay. Thank you Heidi!

Outstanding. Immaculate. Extras included location to everything in Alexandria. Convenient to airport, restaurants and waterfront. Location is in middle of everything but also quiet and private.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Communication from the host was exceptional - we felt welcomed before we even reached the property. Proximity to King St was exactly what we hoped for - very convenient for public transportation, restaurants, shops, waterfront, etc. The property is very clean and the beds are super comfortable. We appreciated the standalone home in the midst of connected row houses - no noise from sharing walls with neighbors. The ability to obtain a street parking permit from the host was also a wonderful convenience. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is close to a busy street, but the noise didn't bother us at all. It is an eclectic historic property as others have noted - a bit cluttered, but we found it to be whimsical and added to the charm of the home/neighborhood. The historic nature of the home comes with some features that visitors may like to know ahead of time. The half bath is connected to the bedroom with the twin bed - if you are using both bedrooms, those sleeping in the queen bedroom may need to use the downstairs bathroom while the occupant of the other room is sleeping. The living room furniture is a gorgeous match to the historic home, but not as comfortable for extended lounging. If you're out sightseeing most of the time, that won't matter at all! It does feel a lot like a visit to grandma's house and we enjoyed it very much. We would definitely visit again - thank you for a wonderful stay!
