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.

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.
