Cozy 2-bedroom urban lair surrounded by parks

This newly remodeled downstairs suite with private walkout patio is the perfect getaway in Arlington. It is mere steps to surrounding trails and parks, walking/biking distance to fantastic shopping and dining, and minutes' commute to Washington DC and other destinations in the DC metro area.

Outdoors:
The walkout patio faces a tree-lined park where kids from 8 to 80 play baseball, soccer, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, and more. The patio has a bistro table, chairs, and a firepit with plenty of firewood so you can enjoy the natural beauty year round and if you time it right, watch the kids at play.

Tennis and pickleball courts are just steps away. A popular sliding hill and a historic farm house are just down the street. Walking/biking trails, a frisbee golf course, a historic train caboose, a skate park, the idyllic Four Mile Run creek, a beautiful rose garden, and more are all within easy walking distance.

Indoors:
Inside the guest suite you will find a cozy living room with fold-out sofa and in a whimsical touch, a hammock for napping or watching TV. The hammock is easily stowed when not in use. Next to the living space is a kitchenette with refrigerator, dishwasher, and induction cooktop.

The corner bedroom has a full dresser and queen bed, a second interior bedroom has a twin bed, and an entry area has a brand new extra-large capacity washer and dryer. The bathroom features a refreshing shower and a hair dryer for convenience.

Getting around:
There is ample free parking on the neighborhood streets, a rarity in Arlington and DC. You can usually find a spot right in front of the property. If you want to ditch the car, the nearest Metro bus stop is about a 5-minute walk. After a 5-minute bus ride you’re in the popular Ballston neighborhood, where you can dine, shop, take in a movie, and more. From there, catch a train at the Ballston Metro station for some sightseeing in DC and around town.

Wrapping up:
Whether your thing is sightseeing in DC, or enjoying the restaurants and clubs in Arlington, or even just walking along trails surrounded by parks and natural beauty, this guest suite is perfectly situated and offers the ideal getaway at the end of the day. We hope you'll enjoy your stay at our awesome urban oasis.

Kindly note that our two cats have not been allowed in the guest apartment since June of 2025. We have made every effort to clean all traces of them there. But be mindful of their presence upstairs in case you are extremely allergic.
