Quiet, clean and convenient place to stay while working in Atlanta for a week. Really appreciated the workspace in one of the downstairs bedrooms - just wish there'd been better lighting set in that room rather than the one small lamp. Excellent, reliable WiFi, comfortable beds and a beautiful neighborhood. Would DEFINITELY stay here again in the future.

Wonderful Place!

Traveled to Atlanta to take 2 18 year olds to a concert. I needed a place to stay that was close enough to the venue but still in a nice area. This place was perfect! Location was safe and quiet and the house was beautiful! Perfect layout, very clean and welcoming! Property owner was super communicative and nice. Checked in on us and was super friendly. Will stay here again!

Great place to stay

Convenient and lovely home setting for our stay. Full of comfortable places to sit, either upstairs in the quiet and peaceful living room or downstairs with family sitting and visiting in front of TV. Bedrooms are very nice and comfortable and everything has been updated in this nice old home. Manager/Owner super nice and accommodating.

We got together with friends that we’ve not seen since the beginning of Covid. It was a great space for hanging out and visiting, especially with pretty sketchy weather. Lots of space and a very nice little market not too far away.

Lovely Stay

What charming house in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Tasteful decor and immaculately kept. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. We were greeted by the host who gave us great suggestions for food. I wish we could have stayed longer, we would love to come back next time in Atlanta. Thank you Allen for being a gracious host.

Charming and convenient

This charmingly decorated home was meticulously clean and conveniently located within 15 minutes of Emory where we attended my nephew’s graduation. The host was very responsive to our questions during our stay, too. We loved the little extras - hair conditioner, mints on the pillows and roses greeted us on our arrival. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect and cozy!

We are a family of 5 with three tall teenage boys and this place was perfect for us. I appreciated all of the extra linens and towels. Everything you need for coffee in the morning is provided (huge plus for us)! We had a short stay but we would definitely return to this home. Airport was 18min away👍

Pleasantly Surprised

We visit Atlanta often and this is the first place my wife and I stayed that we really enjoyed. She even took pictures of how the host decorated their place to give her ideas. Place was clean and the host was very responsive. 5 Stars. Will def look to stay again. I didn't have this issue but this house is made for 6 people so if three families all traveled and drove, parking might be an issue. All street parking and only on one side and must all face one direction. Aside from that. A+

Great 3/2 stay in Atlanta!

We were 3 adults, 2 young kids, and a baby. The place was beautiful and comfortable! 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, plenty of communal space. Lots of fun games and toys for the kids and baby to play with which was amazing!! Enough dishes, seating, etc. Bathrooms had everything we needed. AC/heating was comfortable. Nice comfy carpet in bedrooms. Host was very communicative - there was an issue with the kitchen sink from the previous guests and he communicated with us throughout until it was fixed. Easy check in, check out, and my kids even played with the host’s kids next door a few times. Thank you for the lovely place!! We would definitely come back next time we’re in Atlanta!
