Full of character, you'll feel right at home in this comfy cozy space. A great place to work if you are traveling on business or visiting for pleasure. The great location puts you close to great food, fun and minutes (by foot!) from world-class transportation that can take you all around the city and beyond! You’ll be located in a quiet residential neighborhood where our guests find it easy to truly unwind by hanging out in the relaxing living spaces after a long day of sightseeing and/or business meetings. If you want to stay in and prepare dinner, the kitchen includes every appliance you'll need to do so including dishwasher and oven, and is fully stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils.

We're looking forward to hosting you soon!! Guests will have access to the entire basement/ground level private apartment of this home. While we offer contact-less self-check in for your convenience, we are always only a message away should you need anything at all during your stay. We love our location! Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, yet only a block from a Metro station with DC at your fingertips. Our street doubles as part of the regional bike/running trail network – known as the Washington & Old Dominion trail. We are steps from the newest playground in Arlington. There are local restaurants just down the street that we like to get takeout from (or sit down at, pre-covid): Yayla Bistro (Turkish), and Cote d’Or (French) for special occasions. You can also walk to South Block, a coffee/smoothie shop that is a local DC chain. In a short 5-minute drive (or 20 minute walk on a nice day), you find yourself in Westover, a beautiful local shopping area in Arlington. Recommend Lost Dog Café or The Italian Store, as well as the Westover Market for necessities and an extensive beer selection. If you find yourself in need of just about anything you can probably find it at Ayer’s Hardware. In the opposite direction, you are a similar 5-minute drive or 20 minute walk to Falls Church, known as “The Little City” and it has a great community feel. On your way there (walking), stop by Café Kindred for a coffee or brunch. There is a Saturday morning farmer’s market at the town community center. Dine with the locals at Dogwood Tavern or Claire and Don’s Beach Shack, and catch live music at the State Theater next door. Maneki Neko is a great spot for sushi, right on the main street (Broad St/Rt 7), and Northside Social is another option for a caffeinated drink and brunch. Of course, all of these attractions are a short walk or drive from the apartment. A short drive or metro ride puts you right in the center of all the DC area has to offer. **PLEASE NOTE** We are a family living upstairs, and have 2 young children who you may hear at times happily playing and running around as children often do. Respectfully, PLEASE REFRAIN from booking with us if you are super extra sensitive to noise. Some chance for noise should actually come to be expected with any DC English basement rental. Thanks in advance for your understanding!!

The place was perfect for us and Roger was excellent. We loved the privacy and cleanliness of the space. It had everything we needed plus Roger helped us out on a day we had some car trouble with a recommendation and extra supplies. There is a park around the corner that our son loved in addition to the toys and books that were stocked in the space. Would stay again!

This roomy apartment was conveniently located near the Metro, the highway to D.C. and to the town of Little Falls. Lots of coffee, food and shopping nearby. Since we stayed for two weeks we appreciated the washer and dryer and full kitchen. This is a basement apartment so it was good to have control of heaters to warm it up in the evening. The only drawback was the major house renovations happening on both sides of the house causing lots of trucks, workers, and some construction noise during the time we were there.

Great home base as the name indicates. We took our kids east west north south and right nextdoor to the great park from here. Husband was able to easily hop over to his embassy from the metro nearby. Clean, well stocked, and responsive hosts. If you have lived in an apartment beneath others you won’t really notice any noise above you. If you haven’t and are sound sensitive you might need to get used to the fact that people won’t be tiptoeing—but we didn’t notice extra kid noise. Thanks again!
