8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
The location was great so close to old town and king street . The host was ill so I want to make sure we gave as much grace as possible . The house is small but did have so much charm. I dont think there was anything that can be controlled but due to the hard woods there was a lot of dust and I developed an allergy so needed to leave early. I did not think it was cluttered as others reviewers stated. I think it had a lot of history and while I could not stay there again with allergies i do think though others cpuld with ease .

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.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
Excellent location,..the house is charming, but small for anyone taller than 5’5. you will feel like you are stepping back in time for better or worse… great communication with the host!!, plenty of coffee and tea to use. Street parking! must read signs!
