Absolutely love this adorable apartment. The host was great and provided amazing details on how to find the place, how to get inside, etc. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the fact that no cleaning was required on our part at the end was a really nice touch. Great location as well.

Great Location for Getaway

The apartment is very charming and in a great location. It is close enough to walk to all the main activities in Old Town but is on a quiet street. It was very clean and comfortable. Host was super nice and made sure we had everything we needed.

Quaint & cozy efficiency apartment in a great part of Alexandria. Property is safe and easily accessible to restaurants and Old Town. Host was supportive and available without being intrusive. Apt was well equipped with amenities, and appliances. I would like to see a tv in the bedroom, but that’s personal preference. I would highly recommend

Our host Kelly was excellent in keeping us updated and answering any questions or concerns. Parking behind was convenient although a large vehicle may find it a bit tight getting in. The rental was nicely decorated which made it "homey". A minor item to note is the small bathroom sink. It is functional but something larger and higher would have been appreciated. This is not something significant and we would stay here again because of all the other positives!

Great visit

Our family had a great time adventuring from this property, which is exactly as advertised. Convenient to both Old Town and the Braddock Metro Station for easy yellow line access to the heart of the National Mall. One minor cleaning snafu was quickly remedied by prompt communication from Kelly.

Awesome place!

We had the absolute pleasure of securing another of Kelly’s fabulous apartments! This time we secured the upper level and once again, the comfort level was extraordinary! The place has everything you need to feel at home. The BONUS is how walkable a location it is! Very close to the metro ( actually two locations) and King St. .. both conveniences put you in a position to have things to do BUT the location is also very peaceful if you need quiet!!!We visit ALX rather regularly as we have family there! We look for the availability of Kelly’s places each time and consider ourselves very lucky if we can get it!!! Highly recommend!
