Beautiful 2 Bedroom with Loft in Heart of Old Town—sleeps 6

Welcome to Barrister Square—a beautiful penthouse in the shadow of the nation’s capital. The property is situated in the center of Alexandria's nationally designated historic district, just a half block from King Street and steps from the sights, shops, restaurants, and nightlife. With over 200 boutiques and independent restaurants, Alexandria is one of the best places to stay in the Washington DC metropolitan area. Barrister Square is a 12 minute ride from Reagan National Airport and less than a mile from the Alexandria King Street metro and Amtrak station.

The property was designed to anticipate your every need, with high-end finishes throughout. The open concept kitchen is fully equipped with brand new appliances and a bar integrated with a spiral staircase that leads to the loft and upstairs bedroom. The unit comes equipped with a brand new appliances, Roku-enabled televisions, and high speed wifi in every room. The primary bedroom on the main level is furnished with a queen bed, dresser, and vintage chaise. The adjacent master bath includes a waterfall rainhead shower and imported Italian tile. There is also a half bath on the main level. The loft area features a large screen television and couch, and the second bedroom includes 2 twins and 1 full size bed. The courtyard outside features a professionally landscaped garden with mature dogwood trees, and provides a quiet respite in the heart of the city.

Barrister Square was originally built as a small grouping of attorneys and law offices in a secluded courtyard in Old Town Alexandria. In the grand tradition of barrister history, Barrister Square honors the great heroes of law and (dis)order, cops and robbers, and crime and punishment. The property was designed with a tribute to the rich barrister tradition…think Bonnie and Clyde, the Supreme Court, Prohibition, and mugshots of notable outlaws.

A quick ride by boat, car, or train and you can find yourself at the National Mall, Georgetown, National Harbor, or Mount Vernon, making Old Town an exceptional home base for visiting our nation’s capital. The King Street Trolley is free and runs between the King Street Metro stop and the waterfront. On the waterfront you will find water taxis that will ferry you to various places on the Potomac River, including Georgetown, the Wharf, National Harbor and Mount Vernon. Capital Bike Share stations are located steps away, making it easy to explore the many miles of bike trails along the Potomac.

Old Town True!
Cozy and sweet, this was a great place to stay for our family while in town. Walkable to everything in Old Town, and very true to the old town historic district! It was fun to stay here, stocked with everything we would need, close to DC and all that Alexandria has to offer. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic apartment in the best location
Alexandria was a central meeting point for our reunion of old college friends. The apartment is in a fantastic location near many shops & restaurants, and an easy walk to the waterfront. The place is charming, clean & comfortable. The beds were super comfy and it was very quiet at night. I'd definitely stay here again when visiting Alexandria.

DC Vacay
This was the perfect place to stay and let down after sightseeing in DC all day. The trolley stop was right across the street and plenty of places to eat and the waterfront within walking distance. We loved the history of the area. This place was cozy and would recommend it to anyone!!!

Great place to stay!
My husband and I, along with two of our young adult sons, really enjoyed our stay here in Old Town. Perfect location and parking wasn’t too much of an issue. We just found a garage a couple of blocks away. The accessibility of everything made it such a great experience, not only to see Old Town but to travel back and forth to D.C. as well. We would definitely return!

Great Spot in Old Town
What a perfect spot to enjoy Alexandria. Steps from everything you need. Funky, clean and so convenient to the Metro for missions to DC. We hope to come back some fine day. Bonus points for adorable little school-children playing gleefully outside the kitchen window every morning. A heartwarming way to get our days started!

Perfect location
We had a great vacation in DC area with our teenage daughters. Old Town is a great place to stay and the location of this studio was perfect- tucked away from the bustle of King Street but yet right in the heart of it. Layout of the studio was also perfect for our family as there was a master bedroom downstairs for us and a nice bedroom with adjoining study upstairs for the girls giving them lots of privacy.

Just off the beaten path…
Jen’s loft was an immaculately clean spot located right in the heart of Alexandria, but tucked behind all of the hustle and bustle. The space is well laid out and there’s plenty of room to stretch your legs. If you are going to DC or National Harbor this a wonderful place to rest and recover, full of personality and flare. I’d highly recommend this to any couple, group or family.

Amazing location, comfortable boutique rental!
Upon discovering the sweet alley leading to a back brick courtyard, we easily entered the charming home. The apartment is so nicely designed and decorated! We adults had a private room on the main floor (next to a spectacular bathroom with rain shower head!) while the 4 teen/young adult girls shared the loft. Comfortable beds, 2 bathrooms, plenty of cookware and tableware for all 6 of us. Cooking was easy in the small but well-equipped kitchen. Exactly what you need! Old Town is simply gorgeous and staying right in the middle of it was perfect for us. Jennifer provided a lot of information about the area. She was an attentive and helpful host! Thank you, Jennifer!

Great trip
The location of the property was perfect. Each day we would walk to the metro and head into D.C. Each evening we would return and head out to the waterfront and restaurants in Old Town. The town house had everything we needed for our vacation for 5 nights. We will recommend this property to friends and family and hope to return again.

Lovely spot in Alexandria
We had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend here! The apartment is well maintained and beautifully renovated, and had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay with our two kids. Its location is perfect—immediately adjacent to King Street but tucked away in a cute, quiet little square. We were a little concerned about parking, but as it turned out it was never an issue to find a spot within a block of the apartment, and there were multiple garages nearby as well. The host was super communicative and made sure to check in with us during our stay. Overall, I highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back!

Great place!!
We loved everything about this place! The location can't be beat - within walking distance of several restaurants, shops, Starbucks & CVS. Parking can be difficult in the evening, but we just parked in a garage 3 blocks away. Townhouse was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we could possibly need. We especially enjoyed the collection of games & the Atari! Jennifer was a perfect host! Hopefully we'll be back!
