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

Great stay in Atlanta!

Smooth check-in, check-out, and communication with the host. Allen goes above and beyond for his guests, and I appreciate that a lot. I would certainly stay here again if I’m back in Atlanta.

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.

This was a great experience! We stayed here while attending classes at Emory University for an intensive week of study. The property was clean, well stocked, and convenient. The host replied promptly to inquiries and made the stay very enjoyable! We will definitely stay again!

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!

We got together with friends that we’ve not seen since the beginning of Covid. It was a great space for hanging out and visiting, especially with pretty sketchy weather. Lots of space and a very nice little market not too far away.

Pleasantly Surprised

We visit Atlanta often and this is the first place my wife and I stayed that we really enjoyed. She even took pictures of how the host decorated their place to give her ideas. Place was clean and the host was very responsive. 5 Stars. Will def look to stay again. I didn't have this issue but this house is made for 6 people so if three families all traveled and drove, parking might be an issue. All street parking and only on one side and must all face one direction. Aside from that. A+
