Looking for an apartment in Alexandria? You can choose between a spacious suite in Old Town-like The Jefferson Suite at Prince Street Inn, which puts you a short walk from the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum and the Waterfront-or a homestay-style room at Modern Comfort Stays, set about 3 km from Huntley Meadows Park. The Manor offers a more resort-like option with an outdoor pool and kitchenette, about 8 km from Reagan National Airport. Most apartments include free Wi-Fi, a kitchen or kitchenette, and air-conditioning; nightly rates typically land in the budget-to-midrange bracket, so you can stay comfortably without overspending.
Old Town is the best base for first-time visitors who want to walk to historic sites like Gadsby's Tavern Museum and Christ Church, while the area near the airport suits early flights. If you're traveling with family, look for apartments with family rooms and shared kitchens; for a quick overnight, prioritize places with express check-in and parking. Check exact distances before booking-some apartments are closer to the metro or airport than others-and confirm whether the kitchen includes laundry facilities if you plan a longer stay.
