We had a great time in Alexandria and DC. The house was very clean and not too far of a walk to King Street. The house worked just fine for the 5 of us (kids age 8 and 9). Alexandria is a cool town if you like history, shopping, and good food. The free trolley up and down King Street is a great plus.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Dog House is quaint, charming, and perfectly located. Balducci's Grocery was a daily stop and made our evenings.

This was our first time renting. This place was so welcoming the moment we opened the door. It was so clean and the host has all the daily essentials there for you. It was easy to get around town and super close to public transportation which made it easy to get into DC. I would stay here again.

The Dog House and Alexandria was perfect for our family passing through the DC area for a few days. We were all delighted by the Dog House's charm and downtown Alexandria was such an unexpected treat. Wish we had more time to explore!

The dog house is a great place to stay. We are a family of four and had a great time on our long weekend trip, we had plenty of room for the 4 of us, the house was very clean. The location is hard to beat, this was our second time coming to DC, but our first in Alexandria, we loved it. It was nice walking to king street, down to the water, and just all around. It seemed like we were just steps from everything. Joel was a great host, the house had anything we could possibly need, we had a question while we were there and we got a response right away. This is definitely a place we would stay again without question.

From our first day to our last, this townhome was perfect. The townhome is well supplied with everything you will need for a comfortable stay. A well equipped kitchen, wonderful linens, GREAT location, GREAT ambiance. Close to public transportation, we did not need a rental car. We stayed two weeks and when we had an issue flying out at the end of our trip, one call to Joel and we he assured us we could stay another night. We will be planning a return visit and The Dog House will definitely be our place to stay!

Firstly we can't praise the host highly enough. Great communication, and provided lots of useful information. Also very kindly compensated us when we missed our first night in the house as our flight was cancelled due to bad weather. The house itself is wonderful.Really charming and full of personal touches which make it so welcoming and homely. It was immaculately clean, and whilst obviously ideal if you have a dog,with bowls, food and bed provided, don't let that put you off if you're not a dog owner. There's no doggy smells! The beds were comfortable. The shower was good, plenty of towels and nice toiletries. The kitchen was well stocked , and the host had provided a lot of grocery items, oils, spices, etc. Plus there's a great grocery store nearby for your provisions. The house has a small outside area with table and chairs, which was an added bonus. The neighbourhood is fantastic. We felt really safe. Just a 10 min cab ride to the airport, 15 mins into DC. King Street a 10 to 15 minutes walk away is full of great eating places and shops. There's the train station at one end and the waterfront at the other. You can get a water taxi into DC and they also do water tours. There's a free bus which runs virtually the full length of the street. Only slight negatives are the stairs maybe an issue if unsteady on your feet. Also the house is by quite a busy junction and the traffic builds early, so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. That said would happily book again.

This townhouse is right on the edge of really beautiful old town and we enjoyed walking to the square and along the Potomac. I felt very comfortable in the neighborhood. The interior is very tastefully decorated with all the comforts and extras, especially in the kitchen. The back patio provides a very nice spot to have morning coffee. Beds were very comfy. Not practical for walking to a metro stop, but was only a 10 minute drive to Huntington Station where parking is available for $5. Parking on the street was no problem, always available. Would stay here again.

Our stay at the Dog House could not have gone better! Pristinely clean, decorated with personal touches, and in the best location! Great proximity to D.C. and to Old Town Alexandria.

The house had lots of character - we loved the artworks and general feel of the place. There were a bunch of food items and cooking materials so we could cook reasonably well at home when we wanted to. The USB charging ports in the alarm clocks in the bedroom and on the buffet in the dining room were fantastic for our device-heavy family. The walk to the waterfront and main historic / shopping area of Old Town was 20 - 30 minutes and there were plenty of things nearby for dinner and grocery choices as well. This was a great place to stay to catch up with our friends in the DC area.

We had a great week in Old Town! We biked all over the area, 45 min bike ride to the National Mall from the house—an amazing trail along the Potomac right by the airport. We fell in love with the neighborhood and the all the amazing restaurants and ice cream shops, yum! The house was perfect for our family, had everything we needed and our kids loved the unique staircase and the family board games! Excellent property and location. Would definitely rent again next time we visit the DC area.
