About this property

Private Basement Apartment

Private 1-bedroom basement apartment with separate entrance located 3 miles from downtown. Enjoy the quiet backyard and patio area with porch swing and hammock.

The space
Large private 1-bedroom apartment with comfortable queen bed. In addition, an elevated queen sized air mattress is ready for use and fits comfortably in the large living room.

Smart TV in living room to access your Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc. There is also a smart TV in the bedroom.

Bathroom has a body wash, shampoo, and conditioner dispenser, fluffy towels, curved shower rod, and extra toiletries.

The kitchen includes coffee maker with delicious local coffee, full size fridge, toaster, stove, and microwave. There are plenty of dishes and cooking supplies included. Guests also have a large gas grill on the private back patio.

While there is a fireplace in the unit, we ask that guests please do not use.

Guest access
Guests have access to their own private 1-bedroom apartment with large living room, kitchen and bathroom with distinct entrance.

Other things to note:

1) We have three cats who have access to outdoors and the main house. They do not have access to the apartment, but we thought it was worth noting in case of extreme allergies.

2) This is our family home, we reside completely separately upstairs. Our bedrooms and bathrooms are above the apartment, but we spend most of our time on the opposite end of the house from the space. Our guest room is directly above the bedroom in the apartment and is rarely used in case you're trying to gauge night time noise before 10pm.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a dining table.

We enjoyed our short stay there. Everything was as it said in the description. When we entered, the room smelled a bit odd but it was a basement so we figured that was why. Other than that everything was great!

Lovely

My husband and I needed a place to stay for a few days near our daughter who is a grad student at UGA. We opted for this instead of a motel as we usually do. We were not disappointed. The place is cute and cozy and perfect for a few days spent in Athens. Great location and neighborhood and very lovely people. The place was clean and well stocked. Both the bed and the shower were great. We will definitely stay here on our trips to visit our daughter in the future.

A place to relax

Our stay was easy, comfortable and relaxing. The apartment and neighborhood is very quiet, absolutely no traffic sounds. If the weather had been warmer it also would have been a nice place to spend time outside as a grill is provided and a table and chairs and nice area of lawn. Everything was made easy as possible.

UGA Parent’s Weekend

Matt was super easy to work with. The basement apt was a perfect home base to visit our daughter at UGA and go the football game. The hosts thought of everything you might need including toiletries, coffee, waters, etc. And our daughter is missing her cat from home and enjoyed seeing the hosts cats around the yard! We would stay here again when we visit Athens.

Great little apartment

This was a nice, comfortable little apartment, in a wooded subdivision. You have everything you need, the kitchen has labels so you don't have to guess where things are. This is an apartment, so you will hear them moving around upstairs, just like you would in any apartment or hotel, but they seem to be early to bed people because it's quiet by 9 or 10. I was very happy with my stay and plan to stay there for future visits.

Extended Stay

We rented here for 6 weeks while waiting to close on our new house. Overall, our stay was okay. The space was relatively clean and the yard & patio out back is beautiful. Our biggest complaint would be the noise. The jumping, running, & screaming above us was LOUD and frequent. The apartment is private, but we did not realize that it shared the bottom level with the family home. While the spaces are separated by a locked door, we could easily hear conversations in the room over, which made it feel significantly less private. We could hear the family snoring above us at night, but luckily the room came with a sound machine which we greatly appreciated. The property was nice and came stocked with all the necessities, just not recommended for light sleepers or folks prone to headaches. Matt & Tiffany are fantastic and were very accommodating hosts. They were very responsive when we reached out, and they even replaced the stove for us when it went out. We really appreciated their professionalism and would highly recommend them as hosts.
