Really pleasant stay overall! The staff was nice, the room was clean and spacious, and the area was beautiful and quiet at night. We'd stay here again if we're ever in the area.

4 Minutes to Downtown by the Atlanta Beltline Trail in the Cabbagetown Neighborhood
The apartment was great for a group of friends. The location is great with lots of things within walking distance. There is a garden in the back which is good for relaxing at home. There were a few rough edges but for the price that could be expected. All in all, good value, location and hosts.
