Alexandria - Heart of Old Town ⊹ Minutes from D.C ⊹ Minutes from The George Washington Masonic Memorial ⊹ George Washington's Mount Vernon ⊹ Fine Dining ⊹ Micro Breweries ⊹ Coffee Shops ⊹ Bakeries ⊹ Public Transit (VRE/Metro) ⊹ Shopping ⊹Alexandria Waterfront 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 less than ¾ of a mile from the King Street Metro Station and a little over a ½ mile to the Braddock Street Station. There is a bus stop near by 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 3 mins by car and probably 10-15 mins to walk to Braddock Station 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 3 blocks 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. **There are also ample Uber and Lyft rides in the area. Please just let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks! Laurie and Collin This home provides self check-in through a smart-lock located on the front entry door. A code will be provided to you after you book with us. Please remember that you're staying in our home, not a hotel. Please treat the space and our neighbors with the same respect you would show your own home. If any problems arise throughout your stay, we will do our best to assist you as soon as possible. However, there is no one living on site 24/7. Please note that profiles with a lower review rating of 4 stars will not be allowed to book utilizing "instant booking." If for some reason the platform confirms your reservation, the reservation may be cancelled at the host's discretion. For guests with new profiles without reviews, these requests will be reviewed manually and are subject to screening before a reservation is confirmed. Cancellation Policy: Full refund for cancellations made within 48 hours of booking, if the check-in date is at least 14 days away. 50% refund for cancellations made at least 7 days before check-in. No refunds for cancellations made within 7 days of check-in. That said, Laurie and I understand things can happen. Should you need to cancel outside of your window and we are able to rebook, we always provide what we can back to the original guest to help out. It often depends on when the cancellation happens. If it's closer to the reservation date, then it's harder to book and we typically discount the property. In those instances we obviously may not be able to provide a full refund. In any case, know that we are always willing to try to work with our guests on issues that may come up. *Note about Credit card fees: Unfortunately we can not recoup these costs once processed. Please note, fees will be deducted from all refunds.

My family and I rented Collin and Laurie’s home for nearly a month, and we were very happy with our stay. The home was well equipped with everything we needed, even for an extended stay, and the beds were comfortable. The house was also incredibly centrally located - we rarely had to take the car out of the very convient parking spot out back. Collin and Laurie were also incredibly responsive and great hosts. Highly recommend!

We brought our family of 5 for a vacation and loved this property as our home base. The property was very clean and the layout was great for our needs. The home itself was lovely and we enjoyed having space for family movie nights after a long day of museum hopping! It was wonderful to have a parking space, but we utilized the free Alexandria Trolley and Metro for our trips to downtown. The area itself is full of shops and fantastic restaurants, so there were plenty of family friendly food options for the kids. Overall, this was a wonderful family trip made better by this lovely home. Thanks to the hosts for opening this gem to us!! We would definitely stay here again!

The property is in a great location for staying in Alexandria. One is able to walk to restaurants and old town Alexandria. The only drawback to the location is that it is located on a busy street. The property owner/managers were very easy to communicate with, very helpful with additional information like parking and public transport and sincerely wanted to assist with our stay. Also, the property is not really 3 separate bedrooms. There is a double bed in a small room off the master bedroom, but it is really only suitable for 2 children that can share a bed. Also, it is off the master so the occupants of the master must walk through it to exit.

Great location, walking distance to old town Alexandria. Super clean and well decorated with modern furnishings. Nice appliances in a well appointed kitchen. Beds were super comfy. Fast Wifi. Good water pressure and temperature. AC works great. Stairs to upper floor might be steep for those with mobility challenges, but otherwise OK. Didn’t use the backyard, but the grill and outdoor table are nice. A really nice stay in a great part of Alexandria.

We loved the house! It has been refurbished beautifully. Loved the cozy feel of the back den. The house is conveniently located to so many places including King St., the metro, Trader Joes, etc. The amazing fan drowned out the traffic noise in the front bedroom, keeping the room quiet and cool. We'd definitely stay here again. Thank you Collin and Laurie!

We really enjoyed our stay at Notley Shaw house. It is a beautiful, well decorated home very close to DC. Well equipped kitchen whicj we used often to eat ‘at home’ so we didn’t have to eat out every meal. Bonus of a grill in the backyard which we also used. Parking onsite was another plus along with nice washer/dryer and all the supplies you need. Only care point is to bring a sleeping mask as there is lots of light in the home. A great stay and would not hesitate to book again.
