Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This property is truly a countryside gem! The home is spacious and very well furnished. The beds are exceptionally comfortable. I've stayed at several VRBO homes in the general Athens area, and this one stands out by far as one of the best. The hosts were easy to work with and did a great job of communicating. My wife and I really loved the peaceful neighborhood, and the quiet mornings and evenings sitting out on the front porch. I would definitely recommend this property, and I look forward to staying here again in the future.
