We were *so* impressed with Sean’s 1st floor apartment in Arlington Heights in Fort Worth. Besides the convenient location and charming neighborhood, we most appreciated how quiet, clean, and well-appointed it was for our group of 2 adults as we explored the Cultural District during our 4 day stay.
The unit’s furnishings are modern and minimalist, with several extra welcoming touches such as a bottle of wine and fine stemware waiting upon our arrival, high-quality coffee in the pantry with a permanent filter in the coffee pot, and all laundry cleaning & toiletry supplies furnished. The beds, pillows, and linens are perfectly comfortable, and both rooms have plenty of space for storing away clothes and luggage, and the larger bedroom has a great desk with mirror to double as a workspace or vanity as needed (so helpful when sharing a bathroom among up to 4 people). We didn’t use the kitchen for cooking, but all the tools you’d need to make meals were there, and the full-sized refrigerator was perfect for holding all our beverages and restaurant left-overs. Wifi and Smart TV were perfect for our needs.
As a runner, it was wonderful to be able to lace up my shoes and run out the door in the morning to tour the area on foot. The neighborhood is very pedestrian-friendly with sidewalks everywhere, and you can easily go over to run the stairs at Dickies Arena, snap photos of all the statuary, mosaics, architecture, and murals around the District, or keep going until you reach the trails of Trinity Park, which can take you all the way to Panther Island or the zoo and beyond depending on which way you go.
Some recs for food and “local flavor” within a 2 minute drive or 10 minute walk: Curly’s Custard, Bankhead Brewing, Montgomery Street Cafe, Winslow’s, and Cookshack. Note that there are restaurants inside the Kimball and Modern museums, too. Finally, if you are looking for TexMex, BBQ, or Steaks, there are at least 20 different options within 2 miles of this apartment.
Thanks for everything, Sean! Whenever we return to Fort Worth, we look forward to having you host us again.
