Steps from Metro, Shops & Restaurants | Free parking | Smart Lock

Relax in my Traveler’s Oasis -- All you need to bring is your clothes! From the moment you arrive at this compact 3-story townhouse, you’ll love the amenities and homey vibe. Easy walking distance from the metro, plus King Street/Old Town restaurants and shops.

Enjoy a family vacation or a couple's weekend getaway in the historic Old Town neighborhood of Alexandria. You're just across the river from Washington, DC in a quiet spot away from the city bustle.

Main Floor: Living Room with Smart TV, Dining Room, Kitchen, private fenced backyard.

Step through the front door directly into the main living area and you’ll immediately notice how comfortable you’ll be as you relax in the cozy and inviting living room.

• Watch your favorite shows on the 65” Roku TV
• Take an afternoon nap on the couch
• Unwind with a drink in the evening

Roku Smart TV (Guest Mode): Use your personal login and password to access your Netflix, Prime, Hulu accounts. Free Roku TV channels are also available for you to enjoy.

As you walk into the kitchen and dining area, you can enjoy a quiet dinner cooked at home or delivered from one of our many neighborhood restaurants. On Saturdays, visit the local Farmer’s Market 20 minutes away and pick up your favorite fresh produce. The kitchen and dining area features:

• Keurig, drip coffee maker, and French press
• Hot water kettle
• Cuisinart toaster oven
• Dishwasher
• Dining table with seating for 4 people
• Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook meals at home, including dishes, silverware, glasses, oil/seasonings/spices, and pots and pans you’ll actually want to use.

2nd Floor: 2 Bedrooms (1 Queen Bed/1 Twin XL Bed), another Roku TV, Full Bathroom (recently remodeled!), desk with a wifi laser printer

Basement: 1 Bedroom (Queen Bed), Full Bathroom, Washer & Dryer

After a busy day touring DC or the many activities of Northern Virginia, sink into bed and fall asleep in the quiet and restful bedrooms. All bedrooms offer features you’ll love:

• Memory foam mattresses
• Storage space for your clothes
• Bedside lamps with USB ports
• Cozy duvets to snuggle under

Luxuriate in the large shower with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner provided. In addition, I offer a generous supply of free items that you may have forgotten to pack -- toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, and more.

Laundry:
Enjoy the convenience of a full-size washer and dryer on-site plus detergent and stain remover. I also provide an iron, ironing board, and clothes steamer for keeping your clothes crisp and wrinkle-free, whether for a special evening out or an important business meeting.

Inside the Home: There are stairs and a handrail that lead up to the second floor and down to the basement. There is no bathroom on the main level.

Outdoor Areas:
You have full access to the private backyard where you’ll enjoy lounging on the patio chairs or having a meal al fresco.

My location is a Walker’s Paradise! It has a Walkability score of 95 (out of 100), a Transit Score of 75, and a Bike Score of 85. During your stay, you’ll especially love these advantages:

• Less than a 2-minute walk to the King Street metro station (on the Blue and Yellow lines that go to the Smithsonian, Arlington Cemetery, & US Capitol)
• Walk or ride the free King Street trolley shuttle to nearby restaurants and shops
• Easily access National Airport (DCA), the Capital Beltway, National Harbor, or downtown DC

Neighborhood Highlights:
Take advantage of easy access to the surrounding neighborhood and DC:
• Multitude of restaurants and all cuisines
• Water taxi to DC and National Harbor, plus the Baseball Boat when the Nationals are playing at home
• Quick access to highways leading to Northern Virginia

Things to be aware of:

• Front Door Entrance: Three concrete steps leading up to the front door with a smart lock keypad.
• Blink Camera: Located on the front door. All audio recording is turned off on the device. No monitoring devices inside the home.
• All areas in the house are available to guests except for the locked owner's closet in the upstairs hallway.
• The house is located near the above-ground metro and Amtrak train station. While this makes those transit choices convenient, it also comes with some associated noise: the light rumble of the metro trains on the elevated tracks, and the occasional sound of a train horn. However, we have never experienced any issues with excessive noise inside the townhouse. For instance, it does not affect your ability to have a conversation or watch TV. The metro trains do not run after midnight (2am on weekends) and the Amtrak and commuter trains are infrequent. I also provide earplugs and white noise machines in the bedrooms for light sleepers.

** For long-term stays (over 30 days), I will ask that you sign a rental agreement due to local regulations. Please send me an inquiry and I'm happy to work with you. **

Whether you’re from the States or across the globe, my home is a safe space for folks from all minority and marginalized groups. I am a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and I welcome guests of all races, faiths, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

Awesome stay in Old Town.

Loved this place. It was super clean and had everything that you may have forgotten at home (ie….mouthwash and qtips). Perfect location next to metro and restaurants. Caryn was excellent. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Place

Quiet neighborhood and close to a lot of the things we wanted to see in Charlotte. Only thing lacking were things in the kitchen for cooking big meals for the family but we made due with what we had and even left a few things we bought for others to use later. Communication with the owner was excellent and they took care of any questions we had. Would recommend this place for any future travelers to this area.

Great townhouse with unbeatable location!

We loved staying at this house. The space and amenities are just as depicted and the host could not have been better. We had a minor issue that she went above and beyond to figure out on a holiday. Just a wonderful experience all around!

Great Location

We had a great stay here! Great location for catching the metro and within walking distance to Old Alexandria. There are many extra amenities at this townhome like, laundry soap, dishwashing pods, plenty of coffee pods to get you started, sound machines, ear plugs, shampoo and reloadable Metro cards to use. The train and metro noise didn't bother us at all. Caryn was a great host. We would definitely stay here again.

King Street Oasis

Amazing host with great communication, great property with perfect little touches, and possibly the best location you could ask for. Literally steps to the King Street metro, and with the free King Street trolly, you are just minutes the water and some of the best restaurants in the area. It doesn't matter if you are visiting northern Virginia or Washington D.C., don't hesitate to stay here for the perfect place to rest when your day is done.

Convent, clean, affordable

We stayed here after a Washington Capitals game in DC. It was very convenient to metro from the arena to the Alexandria stop right near this property. Then we took Amtrak to Richmond the next morning. It was the perfect plan when hotel rooms in DC are prohibitively expensive. The home is clean and charming. We will definitely book again.

Everything was good. Loved the sound of the metro and trains. Caryn was great. Easy to reach and made life enjoyable. It does have steps which were a challenge but overall the house was much better than a trying to stay at a hotel. It’s location was great.

It's the little things that count...

Great little townhouse in a lovely neighborhood. Close to the Metro and many restaurants/coffee shops. A quick 30 minute Metro ride to the National Mall and DC attractions. Take the trolley or walk to Old Town Alexandria — both take about the same amount of time (15-20 mins). But, what made the experience excellent were the little touches Caryn provided — Metro Cards to borrow, toiletries you may have forgotten, and a super-easy check-in/out process.
