It was conveniently located near downtown for our needs. The home was super clean. Beds were comfy. It was also extremely well-appointed with anything you might need for your stay. Would definitely stay again.” - Amanda, Atlanta GA “We really enjoyed staying here. The home was perfect for our needs. It was clean and comfortable. It was close enough to downtown, where we needed to be during the day, that it didn't take but a few minutes to get there. It was also far enough away from downtown to be away from the hustle and bustle and have a peaceful and quiet place to go after a long day of work. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.” - Janelle ★☆ BEDROOMS ☆★ The primary bedroom has a queen sized bed and workplace desk while the second bedroom has two Twin XL beds, and our fun reading nook!
