We had a great stay and everything was as expected! My one piece of feedback would be the end of the driveway was a little tricky because the gravel had gathered and there were some pretty low spots right at the curb. Nothing major but would be challenging for cars that sit lower.
Perfect accommodation for our short stay in Athens! Thoroughly enjoyed the apartment.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great stay and truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’d love to host you again in the future!
Bedding, kitchen and floor were clean. Towels need to be replaced as they wreaked of mold. The AC needs to be repaired and there were multiple power outages. Overall good location, but needs some improvement for sanitary reasons. Definitely felt nickeled and dimed to get early check in and felt like they’re looking for reasons to fine you.
AC was broken and no good solution provided and lack of attention to the situation. No checkout instruction provided, wrong address provided during checkin. No response received today at all after my checkout email explaining my stay. Just ignoring the situation.

We’re sorry to hear your stay did not meet expectations.
For future guests, we do want to clarify a few points. The check-in address and instructions provided were accurate, however there was some confusion upon arrival when an attempt was made to access a different unit than the one assigned. Our team worked to assist and clarify access as quickly as possible.
Regarding the A/C, the issue was addressed and repaired promptly, and we also offered an alternative accommodation during that time to minimize inconvenience, though we did not receive a response to that option.
While we regret that the experience fell short for you, we did make every effort to resolve concerns during the stay and appreciate the opportunity to improve.
Very spacious bedrooms comfy beds2 full bathrooms was nice for getting readyGreat location to walk into the town.

We stayed here 2 nights to help our son find an apartment in Athens for his upcoming enrollment at UGA. The apartment was centrally located to everything, but it felt like you were tucked far away in the forest. We even caught a glimpse of a deer grazing the property as we arrived one evening. Throughly enjoyed our stay!
Walking distance to UGA campus and downtown Athens, in lovely neighborhood. Enjoyed 2 King beds and 2 full baths, perfect for two couples. Fire pit with firewood was a nice touch.
Description of the property was very accurate. Rooms are a good size and king beds are awesome (and a rare find in many vrbos). This location is perfect for easy access to UGA in a quiet neighborhood. We were there for our son’s parents weekend and this was a great place to stay!

Comfortable, cozy, and inviting
This property is in such a cute neighborhood, and each room is very cozy and comfortable. Much better than staying in a hotel, and great option for getting together with family or a UGA game weekend.
Beautiful place in a very cute neighborhood, close to downtown Athens.

Was a great place to stay!
We came to Athens on a school scouting trip. This home was in a quiet neighborhood but oh so close to everything. It was nice to have the two bedrooms. The apartment was clean. The door code was a bit sticky but everything else was perfect. We would rent it again if we return to athens.
Property manager was great, communications were always quick. There are several units and at first I was a little confused trying to find which one was ours - not 100% sure if I just missed something obvious or that part could be a little clearer on the listing. Once we were in, place is awesome, whole little area is super cute, and location is great, so I’m actually bookmarking this one

Thank you so much for your review! We hope you will stay with us again soon!
The 2 bed, 2 bath upstairs cottage was great! Clean and fresh, light and airy spaces. Beds were comfortable with great linens, fans in bedrooms. Location for us was excellent and loved the beautiful neighborhood. We saw deer and many birds during our stay. Only caution would be that stairs are a bit steep if you have any one in your group that might have difficulty with up & down stairs. Thank you for a fantastic place to call home during our family visit!
