Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Old Town, Alexandria

We had a great week at Maya’s place. It was like “old school” Airbnb in the best possible ways: a friendly host that meets you and shows you in, random food in the pantry and fridge to snack on, coffee and tea on hand, shampoo in the bathroom. I miss those days! The location was convenient with many restaurants to choose from and 2 metro stops within an easy walk. Comfortable furniture and bed in the unit. Clean. Kitchen well equipped for basic cooking, including a sharp knife (a rarity in Airbnb’s). Plentiful parking in the secure garage under the building. We would definitely return next time we need a place in Ballston!

We came in for a few days to visit DC, Arlington Cemetery, & historic monuments. This condo was absolutely perfect. The parking garage made it very easy to ensure parking was secured and felt extremely safe. The condo itself was very clean and a perfect view of the city. Everything was 10-15 minute drive and food literally across the street. At the end of our stay I accidentally left my wedding ring…I messaged the host and within 2 seconds I had a phone call coming in stating I could pick it up or have it mailed. I was able to return in the condo and get my belonging. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Fantastic place to stay with a family while in the DC area. It was spacious and clean so plenty of room for kids to sleep and play and mom and dad to have their own space. It is literally across the street from the metro - you can’t beat that! And any type of food you want is within walking distance. If we are ever back in DC we will 100% stay here again

We had a great stay . The apartment was great…very clean and neat. It was in the perfect spot for walking to all the places in Shirlington. We enjoyed it way more than staying in the hotel we normally stay at. My only suggestion would be a coffee pot or a Keurig. I did not find one (but I also did not check for that in the amenities before our stay).

Apartment was spotless, host was super responsive. Great location a quick walk to coffee shops/restaurants etc. Very comfortable and safe, will stay again.

Diana was an excellent host. Everything about the stay and service was exceptional!

This is my second stay and it was great once again. The apartment is perfect for one person and is a great place to hang out when you don’t want to be out enjoying all of the Ballston area restaurants. I’ll be back.

The location was great bc I traveled by plane and was able to take the metro rail right to the Airbnb. it was a 7 min walk. Throughout the weekend I could walk to grocery and coffee shops and then took a short uber ride to old town. It was comfortable and clean. spacious. I was able to cook and refrigerate food wven though I ate out most nights. A really nice condo complex.

Stayed here with two of my friends for a long weekend and we had a wonderful time! Room was incredibly clean and very spacious, with a lovely kichenette. Staff were amazing, amenities like the pool and hot tub were great, and overall a great experience. Janee was also super helpful, kind, and responsive!

Brooke's place was fantastic and it was easy to communicate with her. Everything was clear and as expected. Thanks Brooke!

The host was more than accommodating and the condo Is exactly as pictured . Great stay

Love this clean calm space-the balcony was wonderful. Mark was super responsive, checked in on us and we had everything we needed-especially in the kitchen. Great location for walking to restaurants and stores. Will definitely stay again!

Very nice place to stay near Gaylord convention center. Super clean condo. All the essentials are there. Lots to do at the resort as well as nearby walking distance. Having a baby in the group we did quite a bit of laundry. A laundry room was on our floor with two washers and four dryers and free of charge. We barely passed anyone on the seventh floor. We would def stay here again.

Great place with nice amenities! We enjoyed our stay, and the host was very communicative.

Trip went very well worth every penny. Owner was very helpful answered whenever we called to help with check in gave us no problems about playing music on their Alexa or living room tv. Would get again for another trip.

We enjoyed a comfortable 7 night stay with our daughter, son-in law and 2 years old granddaughter who traveled from Oslo, Norway. Oleg is very kind and responsive, the best host we have ever encountered. After we requested some bedding for crib, he ordered them right away and sent us a nice little blanket and a small pillow for our granddaughter in the next morning! He even let us to keep the bedding! The apartment is clean and neat and has all the conveniences needed. It is in a great location, convenient walk to metro, above WholeFoods and other nice restaurants/Starbucks and CVS. We highly recommend the apartment to those who plan to stay in the North Bethesda area.

We loved our family stay at the Saint Albans. The house fit all 13 of us comfortably, and it was in a great location. The kids (and adults) loved playing in the backyard. In addition to the stay being great and the house being well-stocked with everything we needed, the owner went above and beyond in assisting us with retrieving something that was left behind after checkout. Thanks Felicia! We would love to stay again.

Juniper Place was a more than lovely stay for our 2 families. The home was pristine, beds were amazingly comfortable, kitchen, dining area nicely accommodated. The backyard with fireplace was an added bonus that we enjoyed several evenings during our stay, basement with additional living space and gaming for teens was also great! Kitchen snacks, drinks and amenities was a wonderful touch! Great property and great host, highly recommended!! Job well done Jack :-}

Great host! Responded to any questions I had about anything. Place was so clean and well maintained. We truly enjoyed our visit!

Neb and Kal were responsive, took great care of us. Dealt with a damage very gracefully and focused on our safety first. They were great hosts! Highly recommend and would definitely stay there again. We are a family that cooks and I was most impressed with how well stocked the kitchen is.

This is a beautiful place to stay, it’s a quiet and lovely neighborhood and the rental house is so tasteful! I loved having access to their rowing machine and washer dryer too! Great light also!

Beautiful home! Exactly like the photos. Spacious, Incredibly comfortable, and so inviting. Fantastic location.

5 stars! Perfect Stay for a Family Getaway Near DC My family of 10 had a wonderful time staying at this Airbnb just outside of Washington, DC. The home was incredibly accommodating—clean, spacious, and thoughtfully set up for a larger group like ours. We loved how peaceful the neighborhood was, providing a relaxing break from the city, but it was still just a short drive away from all the sights and attractions DC has to offer. It was the perfect balance of comfort and convenience. We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay and would absolutely book again!

The James-Cecil home was an amazing choice for my Family. My family and I had an absolutely fantastic stay! From the moment we arrived, The home was spotless, just like the pictures from the Air B&B website. The home was beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were cozy which lead to an amazing night sleep being away from home. What the James and Cecil group didn’t say was how amazing the view at night overlooking Washington DC was breathtaking from the house. The James and Cecil Group went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I recommend the James and Cecil home to anyone looking to create beautiful memories with your family. I would like to say this experience was a 10/10.
