Charming House in a Great Location!

This is a very charming old home in Alexandria. Our stay here was homey and relaxing; the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was sufficient for making a few meals. Easy walk to the Waterfront down Prince Street (although I prefer going down Duke), and about a 15 minute walk to Whole Foods, Old Town, Good Restaurants, etc. This house is situated along Route 1, so there is a lot of traffic which I find to be very pleasant. Beware, that being an historic home, the stairs are narrow and the bathrooms are small, however, that worked just fine for me and my parents. Overall, it feels like you are at "Grandma's House" and there is a very nice ice cream shop about 3 minutes away. I recommend getting a pint for your stay!

The overall impression of the property, in a nutshell...Museum. The house is tiny, and the amount of stuff inside doesn't leave you enough space even to turn around. The only modern room in the home is the kitchen, but it was so cluttered that we didn't do any cooking; there was also food left in the refrigerator and freezer. I'm sure people were born and died on those bed frames, and I won't mention the torn mannequins in the bedroom and messy sewing room. The person who decorated was a seamstress and a collector of sewing artifacts that go back to the 1800s. The stairs are narrow and you are sure to bump into the picture as you go up the stairs. It happened to me, and I'm not a big person. The outside of the home was also not well-maintained. This home is old, so I suggest that they declutter, remove the mannequins and old picture frames, as well as the scary sewing room, before relisting. One positive aspect is that the home is located in a great neighborhood with a rich history, shops, and restaurants, and is not far from the harbor. I won't add the pictures I took; you have to trust me.
