Designer, Dogs, Garden, Fire Pit, 10 min. to DCA

Summary:
Charming WFH-friendly townhouse in hip Del Ray, Alexandria. Comfy beds, fun decor, and a delightful outdoor space. Steps away from restaurants, shops, Farmers' Market, and recreational amenities. 20 min walk to Metro, 15-20 min drive to D.C., National Harbor, Amazon HQ2, and VTech. Ideal for a relaxing getaway near the Nation's Capitol.

The Space:
Two bedrooms: one queen with adjustable base so you can raise or lower the head and foot, set to zero gravity, etc.), and one twin, a leather couch that converts. Twin room also doubles as home office with standing desk, large PC monitor (bring your cables) and Air Printer. Comfortable beds, lots of pillows, bamboo sheets, and throw blankets. Upstairs full bath recently renovated with freshly glazed tub for soaking and lights that dim. Fully equipped open-floor plan gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops, good knives and cookware. Newly re-decorated living space. Mid-century modern style. Leather recliner. Beautifully landscaped, fenced back yard with fire pit, eclectic outdoor furniture, and lovely deck lighting.

Street parking is always available either right in front or within a few spaces.
Self check-in with door code. I can always be reached by message or phone.

Walk to local Del Ray Farmer's Market, several coffee shops, sushi, pizza, Italian, French, etc. Amazing cheese shop/restaurant and local butcher. Also only a few blocks away is a Capital Bikeshare bike rental, as well as a co-op bike shop. Walk to Aldi, CVS, YMCA, bike/walking trail that goes all the way to Mt. Vernon Estate in one direction and Washington, DC and beyong in the other. Miles of trails. Great dog park only 2 blocks away. Close to Historic Old Town (1.5 miles) with its many boutique shops and restaurants, and an amazing Farmer's Market dating back to George Washington's day. Sailing, paddleboarding, and kayaking opportunities on the Potomac.

Very Nice Place - Perfect Location
I needed a less expensive option than the $1000/ night rates in National Harbor for a convention of some 8000 people, and this place was perfect. Avoiding rush hours... a Lyft ride varied from 12-14 minutes to the Gaylord in national harbor. (I hit rush hour one time and that took 40 minutes.) Nice mid-century decor, well updated. Really efficient well-executed nicely-updated eat-in kitchen. I didn't utilize the backyard at all, but it seemed to offer reasonable space to relax outside - but not a lot of space for kids to runaround, for example). Easy walk to a dozen+ breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Host was an effective communicator. The only thing i will that might be construed as a negative... the bathroom has no counterspace, just a flat toilet top for my toiletries. It didn't bother me, as i just accept that as being part of staying in this beautiful early 1900s neighborhood (and this is in a really quaint/beautiful / walkable neighborhood) and there is simply no way to accommodate counter space in this bathroom. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and would look forward to walking and trying a few more restaurants in this area.
