Brimming with small-town charm, Alexandria's Old Town is a popular destination for history buffs. Known for its ties to the Founding Fathers and centuries-old landmarks, days here are spent strolling along the brick-lined sidewalks, shopping in local boutiques and dining at historic taverns and trendy eateries. Start the morning with a walk along the Potomac River waterfront, then hop on the metro and head into Washington DC for some sightseeing – King St Station is a fifteen-minute walk away. Following a jam-packed day, come home and unwind in this pared-back apartment. It may not be as showy as some other homes in our collection, but the excellent location more than makes up for the simple design. The kitchenette is on the small side – there's no oven or freezer – but you can still whip up light bites on the stove or microwave when you're feeling peckish. With Chromecast streaming, you'll be able to snuggle up for a chilled evening at home, while the communal courtyard is the perfect spot to sip a glass of wine in the summer sun. We think this apartment is a good base for exploring the DC area and is best suited for guests who... enjoy being out and about.
