Located in the Ballston/Clarendon area which includes many dining, shopping and entertainment such as the Ballston Quarter Regal Cinemas. If relying on Metro, the Ballston Metro station is less than 10 mins walking which can take you to all your touristic DC sites. We are a 8 minute drive to historic Georgetown, a 10 minute drive to all the Smithsonian Museums, Washington Monument, Arlington Cemetery, World War II Memorial. We are a 10 minute drive from The Wharf known for the freshest and best seafood in the DC metropolitan area, and a 20 minute drive to the National Harbor/MGM Casino.
At the end of our street, you will find a family friendly park which includes a grassy open field for a quick game of soccer,kickball, fly a kite and more. It also includes a full size playground for the kiddos and a basketball court. Our home comes equipped with a loaner soccer ball and basketball if needed for use at the park.
While our area allows for plenty of parking and ease of transportation by car, the best method and most common use of transportation for tourists is the Ballston Metro station which is located a couple of blocks away from our home. Metro allows ease of access into all the popular touristic sites in Washington, DC to include Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery, and all Smithsonian museums/National Mall/Capital/White House.
We DO NOT allow smoking inside the home at anytime. Should you or your guests smoke, we do offer a smoking designated area outdoor for your use and ask that you please dispose of your butts in the proper receptacle, provided.
