Our stay here while traveling with two young children was great. We truly felt at home and would definitely stay again while visiting friends. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your experience and I hope to host you again very soon!
Great host! Excellent communication. Nice location within walking distance to downtown Athens and Sanford stadium. Was the perfect base for a weekend of college football. Also very close to the firefly trail and a few other biking/running trails that made for a great morning run or bike ride.

We traveled to Athens for a statewide event. The location was within 10 minutes driving to everywhere we needed to be all weekend. The unit is cozy, homelike and well equipped. We would stay again.

Allison's property is just perfect for a getaway to Athens. The condo is very close to downtown and great places to eat. The condo is exactly as advertised, very clean and well put together. Allison was a delight to work with. She was very responsive and helpful with check-in. 10/10 would stay here again!

Very nice place - cozy, comfy, clean, provided everything needed. Plenty of comfortable seating in the common area. Nice big screen TV. Comfortable beds. One of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed in. Plenty of parking. Close to downtown area. Enjoyed the UGA Dawg decor! One note: there are a lot of stairs,

Thank you for your review, Terri! We are happy you enjoyed your stay and hope to have you return soon!
We were there for the SEC Championships swim meet at UGA and the location was ideal because we we were close enough to walk to campus on the adjacent bike trail or drive 3 minutes if we didn't have the time to walk. The condo was clean, quiet and comfortable. The only recommendation is to add some blackout shades to the east-facing bedroom, the sunlight in the morning is intense.

Thank you for your kind review; we are happy you enjoyed your stay!
I appreciate your suggestion, and have hung blackout drapes in both bedrooms since your visit.
We were in town for a wedding and I can’t say enough good things about this property. It’s nicely decorated the accommodations are comfortable and extremely clean. I have stayed at many Vrbo properties and have never had such great linens. The towels and sheets were top-notch. The location of the property is convenient to everything and the host is an excellent communicator. This is a great place to stay would be great for a football weekend or graduation or parents weekend or a long-term rental if they do that. Great host great property. I would recommend it to anyone and I would use it again myself.

Thank you for the glowing review. It truly is our goal that each guest have a wonderful stay. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!!
We loved our time at Allison’s home. I feel like with so many other home rentals, we’re staying in a random property that’s a glorified halfway house. Not here! We truly felt like guests in Allison’s personal home and the hospitality was a 10/10. We stayed here for the Georgia game and the VRBO was a 20 minute walk to campus - very convenient. All the amenities were wonderful and check in process was easy. We will be back!

Thank you so much for your glowing review! I truly appreciate it and always strive to make sure each guest feels at home. I’d love to host you again on your next trip!
Booked a somewhat last-min. stay for the G-Day game, property is clean, well-stocked and so adorable. Bedrooms spacious, beds extremely comfy. Very close to the campus/stadium as the crow flies, but actual walk would take a min since lots of hills. We drove extra early to find parking.Only issue I ran into was trying to get the app for door lock working, but owner thinks of everything annd had an lockbox with key on site so it worked out just fine. Owner was wonderfully accommodating, everyone was very happy, sending love from Raleigh! Thank you again
