Great place to stay!

The house is in a great location with close proximity to all things Athens. My family enjoyed spending time together. The home is decorated nicely and the rooms are surprisingly larger than I had expected. Would definitely stay again and refer to friends.

An older home with some creaks but very well-maintained. An excellent location convenient to all of the best things to do in Athens. Quiet neighborhood with lots of friendly faces taking walks with their dogs. Would definitely stay here again!
