We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The property was extremely clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It provided everything we needed for a comfortable week while my daughter attended an internship at UGA. The location was also perfect, with everything we needed less than 10 minutes away.Many thanks to Meredith and Alex for being such friendly, kind, and responsive hosts. We were truly sad to leave and cannot recommend this property highly enough.
