Updated and spacious. Great view of the river with several deck options. The sofa bed has a very thin and stained mattress. Could use a washable mattress pad. Other beds were comfortable Definitely walkable to Helen’s attractions and the park.Easy walk to tubing and mini golf.

Previous stay

We arrived to the property with no direction on how to get to the unit. Once we entered we found that the floor in the unit to be sticky, we had to clean all the floors. Doors in the unit were broken, held to gether by drywall screws. All the doors in the bedroom areas did not close, saftey concern if you have small children.

Great location

It was a great location! In the middle of everything. It was right on the river but we couldn’t sit out on the balcony and enjoy it. It was very dirty mostly with bird mess everywhere that had not been cleaned in a long time.

Mediocre

When we first entered the unit, we saw a sandy debris on the floor. It turns out the floors had been redone the day before, and all the debris had not been cleaned. The sofa bed in the living room should not count as a bed, as the "mattress" was about 2 inches thick, and the metal support rods could easily be felt through it. Dog beds are much more supportive! We needed to wash the King sheets. They washed up well but took hours (multiple cycles) to dry, so don't count on doing any laundry unless you're committed to hanging around for several hours. The location was nice and having a bathroom for each room was great.

Not good!

We arrived at 7 pm at night on a Friday, and there was a broken plumbing pipe in the building, and no water. We were told it would take a couple of hours to repair. Well, 1 pm the next day arrived and still no water. Communication was horrible. Waiting for updates since early morning and the local staff was no where to be found. We were supposed to check out on Monday, and had to leave the property and rent another location since I was not even offered a different place to move to with my family and kids.

The only thing we didn't like was that we couldn't go out on the patio because of all the pigeon poop. Everything else was great. 5-10 minute walk to the center of town.

Great location, large space

When we pulled up the building looked abandoned. All the buildings in the area looked abandoned except the major chain hotels. That being said the apartment was fairly nice. It was very spacious. It had 3 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. We only needed 1 so there was more then enough room. All the condos in the building look like they were converted hotel rooms. There are 3 doors that say 502 which you can use. The code for the door to enter is on the main door. The bed was actually pretty comfortable, even though it isn't newer. It was very clean but dated. Everything looks worn down, but as I said clean. The location is great. We were stopping through for Oktoberfest and we were able to walk to all locations. We stopped at a few wineries and took in a hike. The area is beautiful. It was too cold but your right down the street from 2 tubing companies. So overall was a good stay.

Convenient to Everything

The condo is spacious and within walking distance of downtown Helen, the Georgia Mountain Coaster, the Helen Water Park, and is right on the banks of the Chattahoochee River where you can sit in a swing or in the cool water of the river and watch the tubers in the summer or just listen to the running water over the rocks every other season of the year.

View of water was great

Pros: Loved the location!!! Right on river. Loved the third bathroom. Plenty of room for my family of five. Walking distance to everything. Cons: limited parking- it said I had two spaces. There were none open. Floor in kitchen looked like it had some water damage at some point. It was peeling /buckling around the island -dishwasher area. Gave 4 stars cause location outweighed the floor issue.

There is SERIOUS ant problem, no food can be in the house without the whole kitchen getting swarmed. The property is lovely and looks as listed, could maybe use some Renovation. The floor was water damaged.

Weekday Trip

Plenty of space for 2 adults. Clean. Older property; late 80s, early 90s. There was floor damage in the kitchen. Small deck that pigeons seemed to enjoy. The location is nice and we were able to walk to all the shops and restaurants.

Comfortable and Convenient

This was tough to rate because it was a comfortable, warm apartment with all the accommodations but it needs a little work. The hot water was endless and the water pressure was perfect. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. There were some floor boards coming up in the kitchen but it did not affect us. We wanted to use the fireplace but were afraid to because the couch was almost right in front of it. It was the only place the couch could go. The view was amazing right on the river and the trees were such a beautiful setting. The beds are a bit squeaky and a little too firm for my comfort. My only suggestion is to put blackout curtains in both bedrooms due to the exterior lights streaming in the windows at night. No need for a night light. Bring your eye shades to sleep. All in all I would stay there again because it was comfortable and you could walk to everything! This is why I gave it four stars.

Property was in poor condition, appliances didn't work, overall made a more expensive stay as we were unable to cook food we bought and had to eat out almost all meals. Would not book this property again
