Our stay was excellent. We booked this vrbo due to its close proximity to Emory and due to the great reviews. The house was very well equipped for everything we needed. Very clean, great neighborhood, very safe. Allen is a great host and so easy to deal with quick responses and always making sure we had what we needed and respected our privacy. Our family would definitely stay here again.

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.
