This little historic house was absolutely perfect. There is nothing to complain about at all. We loved the location on a quiet street in a lovely neighborhood. Downtown shops and restaurants were very close. Also, the host was so kind and responded very quickly to any questions that I had. Will definitely book again!

We stayed for a concert at UGA. The house was clean, well kept and very comfortable. It was pretty cool to stay in such a historic property and area. It was also within a long walking distance to the stadium. The host was very, very responsive. Aside from the train, the location was very quiet and convenient to restaurants.
