Charming Arlington Townhouse with Garage

We came to DC for July 4 celebration. This was a great place for the 4 of us for the holiday weekend. Loved it

This townhouse was as advertised and more! The rooms were large and comfortable with plenty of space to unwind before and after family events in Arlington. Also, the location was great, with access to the grocery, church and restaurants. The host provided snacks and must have had advance notice of my ice dependency as there was a bowl of ice in the freezer ready to chill my favorite beverages during this hot weekend.The only bit of advice I would give to our host is to somehow illuminate the house number. We arrived later than expected--after dark--and I am afraid I gave several neighbors a scare as I ran up the steps on two other homes to check the house numbers.I hope I didn't cause too much anxiety in the neighborhood because of this. The third time was a charm and we were easily 'home.'

This was a great place to stay with my kids during our visit. Quiet neighborhood and the birds are amazing. We listened to them all day. The host was very accommodating with our unusual check-in/out schedule. It's very close to the bus route for sightseeing! Buy a Metro card before you get here if you're out of state. So much easier. (The stop is just a few minutes walk. Bus 77 S Walter Reed Dr NB @ S Pollard ST FS to N Highland St NB at 11th St N FS. Right in front of Mister Days. Walk up just bit to the Clarendon Metro Station. Take the Orange line going toward New Carrolton to the Smithsonian stop. Reverse to come home. Take the Orange line going towards Vienna, get off at Clarendon, and catch the 77 on the other side of the street from Mister Days. )We had a great stay here and it was wonderful to have laundry on-site. Driveway is a bit steep for low bottom cars so be careful pulling in and out.Thanks for making our stay comfortable!

When we arrived, the housekeeper had not turned off the alarm so our first 20 minutes in the home was listening to an alarm going off. The police showed up and I had to prove I was indeed allowed to be in the home. The host didn't answer our call, but he did answer when the police called him. This led me to never be able to relax in the house. There are also alarms in the bathrooms so the first time my son took a shower the alarm was going off within 5 minutes of him starting his shower. I don't think any of us ever truly felt comfortable we were just waiting for the next alarm to go off.The good things about this house are the off-street parking, quiet neighborhood, and seeing fox in the back yard. This house is fine if you need the basics., just make sure to ask the host if the alarm has been turned off prior to entering the home.
