Sleek, modern and to the point, this studio on King Street juxtaposes with Alexandria’s old-timey feel. The pad is perfect for fleeting visitors or exploring types who are always on the go. Make yourself at home in the well-laid-out living space – there’s a trendy mid-century couch for kicking back with your morning coffee or sip in the sunshine on the communal patio. A kitchen is equipped with the basics for quick snacks during lulls in your itinerary, though in a city like this, where seafood is the freshest you’ll eat, we imagine you’ll do most of your dining out. Stroll past the red-brick buildings and pop into quaint boutiques and street-side coffee shops. Then visit Gadsby's Tavern Museum, a ten-minute walk away, where the Founding Fathers once wet their whistles. If you’re in the mood for hustle and bustle, Washington D.C. is just twenty-six minutes away on the Metrorail.
