Please Note:

***When renovating we did install soundproofing, however we feel it’s necessary to note that the house was built in the 1940s and will never be completely soundproof. We do our best to be mindful when we have guests, but you may occasionally hear footsteps or other sounds upstairs. We provide earplugs for light sleepers, as we do get up early for work. Never hesitate to reach out if the upstairs noise is too loud.

The location was perfect for our needs. We loved the yard. Parking was easy to find. The basement apartment was very spacious for two adults and two dogs. We saw many families walking their dogs and felt very safe taking our dogs for a walk in the neighborhood. We would stay again the next time we visit the area.

There was an impressionable lack of communication to the point where I had to have someone from Vrbo’s customer service call the host for check-in instructions. There was dog feces in front of the property that attracted flies around and into the property (the hose did pick it up after I asked). The unit also had an unpleasant smell throughout and could possibly benefit from a good deep clean. The neighborhood was nice to walk through and the location is easy to find with lots of restaurants and businesses close by.

Comfortable and Quiet

A perfect spot for a quick Atlanta trip. The apartment was well-appointed and I loved the extra touch of having a robe available. Bed was comfortable and I also enjoyed sitting in the back yard watching for fireflies (we don't have those in the west)! Thank you for a great spot!

Great Stay!

Our stay at the Vrbo property exceeded all expectations! It had everything we could have asked for and more. The home was not only clean and comfortable but also had a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. We were pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness and how comfortable the furniture was. The vinyl player was my favorite touch, which we used it a lot. :) Michael was a fantastic host—friendly and accommodating, making the entire experience seamless. The only minor issue was that the cleaning service was still there when we arrived, but Michael had given us a heads-up in advance, so it wasn't a problem at all."

Good house, good location

This is a great place for someone with a dog. The rental unit is downstairs in the fenced back yard. It has coffee, a microwave and a refrigerator. It has a large living room area and dining room. The hosts communicated information in a timely way and were quite helpful. The house is in a great location, 5 minutes from East Atlanta Village and about the same to Grant Park. It is a block from the beltline although the access is a little steep. The price was quite reasonable.

Beyond Sketchy

From the onset, communication was lacking to the point we had to get VRBO to call host twice for check in details which wasn’t received until an hour before check in. We drove 6hrs to find this property with an access down a slippery, poorly maintained flagstone pathway going downhill to a basement door that enters into a TOOL SHED with tools all over the floor to step over with no lights on with two other doors. Upon opening the door to rental unit again no lights on...just enough from outside door to see the unit was completely disheveled. This felt disgusting, terrifying and we chose to not even step inside but instead flee! How this until has several good reviews is astounding, because our experience from A-Z was unprofessional, gross, odd, scary, and nothing was like pictured including the outside patio furniture that should be in the dumpster. Don’t just walk..run away from this listing Silenceof the Lambs vibe! walkway

About the host

Hosted by Michael Harvey

Hi, I’m Michael! I’m a proud University of Georgia grad (Go Dawgs!!!) and also studied Finance and Accounting at the University of Virginia. After school, I moved to Atlanta and worked in finance for several years before discovering my true passion: hosting.
I started back in 2015 by renting out a spare bedroom, which quickly grew into remodeling a basement and eventually helping friends and family design their own vacation homes. What began as a side project turned into Host This Home in 2018, where I now get to focus full-time on creating comfortable, memorable spaces for travelers.

I also serve as Treasurer for the Atlanta Metro Short-Term Rental Association, where I work with other hosts to keep Atlanta’s short-term rental community strong and welcoming.

When you stay with me, my goal is simple: to make you feel right at home while enjoying everything our city has to offer.

Why they chose this property

I love living in Grant Park because it combines the warmth and character of a historic Atlanta neighborhood with excellent access to city amenities. With tree-lined streets, proximity to the BeltLine’s Southside Trail, and easy walks to Grant Park and Zoo Atlanta, it offers a comfortable, authentic local experience. Yet, it’s also only a short Uber or drive away from downtown’s restaurants, theaters, and attractions, giving guests the freedom to enjoy both serenity and city life in one place.

What makes this property unique

This basement apartment isn’t just another place to sleep — it’s a cozy, private retreat thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. Even though it’s tucked underneath, it still feels open, light, and welcoming. Guests will find everything they need for a restful stay without extra fuss.

What sets it apart:

Dog friendly — Bring your pet along; we’ve accommodated furry guests so you don’t have to leave them behind.

Private entrance & space — You get your own door, your own quiet corner, and separation from the main house.

Efficient, deliberate design — Despite being a basement, the layout, lighting, and finishes make it feel far from subterranean.

Prime Grant Park location — You enjoy neighborhood peace yet are just a short drive from downtown, the BeltLine, and many of Atlanta’s top spots.

All essential amenities included — From WiFi and comfy furnishings to all the little extras, the idea is you just walk in and feel at home.

It’s a space that stands out not because it’s flashy, but because it’s thoughtfully built and genuinely comfortable. It’s more than a stay — it’s a restful base from which to explore Atlanta.
