    Our stay in Allen's lovely home was topnotch - warm, clean and comfy, with just the right amenities to help relax between our planned activities with family. Allen was proactive in communicating with me, and a pleasure to work with. No complaints - we will hope to stay at Allen's place next time we're in Atlanta!

    We really enjoyed our stay at Allan’s. The house was comfortable, spacious, and well-equipt. Plenty of room for our group (5 adults) to eat together, watch the game together (go Birds!) or get away for quiet time when needed. Allan was very responsive to texts. We will definitely stay here again when in the area

    Quiet, clean and convenient place to stay while working in Atlanta for a week. Really appreciated the workspace in one of the downstairs bedrooms - just wish there'd been better lighting set in that room rather than the one small lamp. Excellent, reliable WiFi, comfortable beds and a beautiful neighborhood. Would DEFINITELY stay here again in the future.

    Wonderful Place!

    Traveled to Atlanta to take 2 18 year olds to a concert. I needed a place to stay that was close enough to the venue but still in a nice area. This place was perfect! Location was safe and quiet and the house was beautiful! Perfect layout, very clean and welcoming! Property owner was super communicative and nice. Checked in on us and was super friendly. Will stay here again!
