George Washington Town House nella Città Vecchia di Alessandria - Walk to Everything!
A proposito di questa casastruttura in affitto
Immerso in Alexandria, questo affascinante casa a 306 € per notte è un eccellente scelta per il tuo prossimovacanza. Nel cuore del centro storico di Alessandria si trova la George Washington Town House. La casa è una riproduzione della casa di città originale e si trova sul sito originale. GW usò la casa, principalmente prima della Rivoluzione, come ufficio e per passare la notte quando era ad Alessandria per motivi di lavoro o sociali (per ulteriori informazioni storiche, vedi sotto o cerca "George Washington Townhouse Alexandria").
È situato nel centro storico. Si trova a un isolato a piedi da King St. ea pochi passi dal lungomare, dai musei, dai ristoranti, dai negozi (inclusi Trader Joe e CVS), biblioteca pubblica, mercato agricolo e Municipio. È anche a pochi passi dalla metropolitana di King St. (ci sono anche navette gratuite che collegano la metropolitana lungo King St. dal lungomare alla stazione della metropolitana). Le tariffe variano in base alla stagione e se il soggiorno è di notte o fine settimana. Soggiorni di una settimana o più sono scontati, così come le prenotazioni "last minute".
La casa di città è su tre livelli (circa 600 piedi quadrati per livello) con le 2 camere da letto al piano superiore, il soggiorno e la sala da pranzo (una grande stanza) al secondo livello (principale) e la cucina e la camera familiare con divano letto matrimoniale al piano seminterrato inglese. Ci sono due bagni, uno con vasca e doccia al piano superiore e uno con doccia solo al piano interrato inglese. La casa dispone di un ampio cortile posteriore. Nella parte posteriore del lotto si trova un grande magazzino dove si trovava la stalla. Ci sono due parcheggi sul lato opposto del capannone di stoccaggio e al largo di "Washington Way" dove GW si avvicina alla proprietà a cavallo.
Quando Alessandria fu fondata nel 1749, la città salì (ad ovest) dal fiume solo fino a Royal Street. Tuttavia, nel 1763 la città stava andando così bene che vennero aggiunti diversi altri blocchi. GW acquistò questo lotto di quarti (lotto 118) il 9 maggio 1763, per dieci sterline, dieci scellini. Dal 1769 al 1771, fece costruire una semplice abitazione, una stalla e altri edifici necessari come una sorta di annesso cittadino a Mount Vernon. La casa di città era l'unica casa costruita da Washington per uso personale. Prima della guerra rivoluzionaria, lo usava spesso quando era ad Alessandria. Durante la guerra e la sua presidenza, il posto veniva spesso affittato o prestato ad amici e membri della famiglia. Dr. William Brown affittò la casa per circa dieci anni; La nipote preferita di Martha Washington, Fanny Bassett Washington, visse qui con i suoi due ragazzi per poco più di un anno nel 1794-95; e il colonnello Philip Marsteller, amico intimo di GW dalla Rivoluzione, ex sindaco di Alessandria e uno dei portatori di palloni di Washington, visse qui nel 1797. Numerose lettere di Washington si riferiscono al passare la notte "a casa mia". Altre lettere ordinano recinzioni per la proprietà e danno indicazioni dettagliate per cose come riparare i camini, posare un pavimento di mattoni nel seminterrato, tappezzare il muro della camera da letto e dipingere l'esterno.
È il primo pezzo di proprietà elencato nel testamento di Washington, ed è stato l'unico pezzo di proprietà che ha lasciato apertamente a sua moglie Martha quando è morto. Alla sua morte, la signora Washington lasciò la proprietà a suo nipote, Bartolomeo Dandridge. Sfortunatamente, l'abitazione che si era notevolmente deteriorata, fu demolita nel 1855. Nel 1960, Gov. e Mrs. Richard Lowe fece ricostruire la casa sulla base di resoconti esistenti, in particolare un disegno fatto da un vicino sul tempo della demolizione (copia della casa).
Durante gli anni '90, la casa di città GW fu affittata a Mick Fleetwood di Fleetwood Mac mentre gestiva "Fleetwood's" un club e ristorante blues nel centro storico del nord.

We loved that the Old Town Ghost tour stopped outside every night. The townhouse was great for a family of four and having dedicated parking is amazing. Love the walkable, convenient location! Responsive communication with the host and we would gladly return.

The house was exactly as described. The area was just what we wanted. Walked everywhere to some of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. 10-15 min to National Mall, Mount Vernon and Smithsonian Grandchildren loved all the sights and the ability to walk to Old Town. Tom was amazing answering any questions we had.

This was my second stay at the George Washington Townhouse, and it did not disappoint! This house is in a perfect location, and the history is amazing. Tom is an excellent host who is communicative and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this property if you want to enjoy all that Alexandria and DC has to offer!

What I would have liked to know before we stayed: the GW house does not have comfortable furnishings, the third bed was basically in the kitchen, the showers (and bathrooms were small),
We had to buy dishwasher tablets, dish soap, laundry soap. Doors were very sticky/tricky.
But history galore! If that’s what you are after!!

Very convenient to King Street. One 1/2 block to King and great restaurants and shopping. Wonderful host. Can call anytime and be answered immediately. The only thing I would have preferred be a little better is bricks in back courtyard were uneven. I just had my knee replaced and I had to be very careful walking around out there. The weather was beautiful so we had breakfast in courtyard. Nice atmosphere out there.

Perfect location in Alexandria with dedicated parking spots for the unit. The property is a living museum and fun to look at the antiques and memorabilia. The bathroom was a bit cramped. The back patio needs some TLC.

We enjoyed staying at the townhouse. It was so close we walked to dinner most evenings. Alexandria is such a nice place to walk around. Highly recommend the ghost and graveyard tour! They walk by the house and talk about it. We got to say we were staying there! Very fun.

As far as location everything was great. House needs some attention to repairs. .back door screens door handle was broke. Back courtyard could use some TLC. Bathtub upstairs either needs to be fixed or removed. Dishwasher cabinet fell off I taped it to keep it in place. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay. It was a very clean house and convenient to everything. Thank you

My husband, 11-year-old, and I had a fantastic stay at the George Washington townhouse. Tom was an ideal host--responsive, thoughtful, and knowledgable. We had an issue one day we were there, and he showed up within minutes. The location in Old Town is perfect...although there's some street noise in the morning, so just be prepared to turn on some white noise. If you've wanted to stay in Old Town--and especially if you love history--you won't find anywhere better. We'd stay again in a heartbeat.

If you have mobility issues or an eye for detail and can’t overlook the deferred maintenance, this may not be the place.
If you love history and want the best location imaginable (especially for multiple people for the price), then this is a great place.
The courtyard was nice. If maintained, it would be a big perk as well.

I have stayed at this residence on many occasions because it combines all the comforts of home just outside our nation's capitol and in the lovely area of Old Town Alexandria. And for those history buffs - the home's history and decor are part of the charms! All without sacrificing essential modern conveniences.
We have particularly liked the neighborhood and its proximity to restaurants, the riverfront and the added bonus of private parking.
Additionally, the check in/out process is seamless and interaction with the host is easy and prompt! Should your travel plans include a trip to the area - I highly recommend the Washington House!

Great location within walking distance to most attractions. Beautifully and appropriately decorated. A unique opportunity to experience and imagine Old town Alexandria as it would have been in Washington's time in this replica townhome on his own property. Upkeep could have been better and the property needs and warrants some TLC due to it's historical significance - however I would still highly recommend.

Location is perfect - there is a wine and beer shop right around the corner and a neighborhood bar called the Old Hat within walking distance. Old Town Waterfront is a seven minute walk. The home itself is like living in a museum. Recommend for couples. Uber to D.C. is a fifteen minute ride. All in all it was great fun and a kick to stay on George's old property.

Perfect location if you don’t want to stay in DC. One block from Alexandria’s King St and bus connection to Metro for trip into DC. Clean. Bedrooms are on the 2nd floor, galley kitchen/family room is in the English basement; stairs could be challenging for some. As others have suggested, some very minor repairs would make this place really shine, but overall it was perfectly comfortable for relaxing after a day of siteseeing. Review the welcome email to ensure you bring personal items not included. Shopping on King St for anything forgotten. Great farmers market on Sat worth checking out.

The Geo. Washington replica house in Old Town Alexandria, VA, was perfect for us. Two full bedrooms separated by a bath on the top floor, plus a pull-out sofa bed and full bath on the basement/kitchen floor. In between, was a charming ground-level floor made up of a large sitting area and dining area. The entire house is decorated with tributes to George Washington. It is located on a lot once owned by Geo. Washington, perfectly in the center of Old Town. Everything is within easy walking distance, and downtown Washington, DC is only a short Metro ride or drive (four miles) away. The owner, Tom, is easy to work with and a gracious host. We highly recommend it.

Such a sense of history…While the bottom floor kitchen/den is cozy and casual, the more formal middle floor gives a feeling of elegance. It is true that it is a tourist stop; on the Saturday night we were there several costumed tours stopped by the front of the house. Just a reminder of what an honor it was to actually stay overnight. I have been lucky enough to stay in some historically significant sites such as Elvis Presley’s teenage apartment at Lauderdale Courts in Memphis and the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River. Now I can add the George Washington Townhome in old Town Alexandria to the list!
