We had a great stay. Place was extremely clean. We were there just for the weekend and ate out, so we did not use the kitchen. Host was wonderful and very responsive.

Very nice and communicative host, but house needs updating

The host was very easy to reach and responded fast, but there were many issues that should have been resolved before we arrived. (A blanket was missing, special county garbage bags were finished, an outdoor garbage can was missing etc.) The house is cleaned okay, but it needs a lot of updating. The white sheets had many stains, the kids bunkbed was extremely shaky (to the point that I only allowed the lightest child to go on the top bunk), and the full bed in the non master bedroom was coming apart at the headboard with staples exposed. The faucet in the main bathroom didn't turn off well (it had to be done a specific way- which the kids could not figure out), and there is ZERO drawers/dressers/shelves to put any folded clothes. There are only closets in each room with hangers. So it was very difficult to unpack neatly.

Dialectic Review

A dialectic is when two seemingly conflicting things are true at the same time. For example, “It's snowing and it is spring”. This would be my review of the Pet/Family Friendly Renovated Bungalow By Emory. 1. It is close to Emory, but it has a very narrow driveway and is on a very busy street that makes it challenging to even leave the driveway. 2. It is pet friendly, but the backyard doesn't have sufficient lighting after sunset and before sunrise, it isn't entirely enclosed with a fence, and the pine needles and combs on the ground make it challenging for small dogs to walk around and relieve themselves. 3. It is renovated, but it doesn't have a dish washer. 4. It has a couch in the living room, but it is not standing firmly. The same is true for the table in the dining room. 5. It has modern mobile app enabled front door access, but the instructions for using it are not made easily accessible to renters. My suggestion to future renters is to be very careful with this property.

Never VRBO again

Worst place I have ever seen. Not at all as listed and reeked of chemicals. Run down and terrible location. Could not stay and had to pay for a hotel and no hope from the owner of reimbursing us. Shame on him and VRBO.

Easter visit

My wife and I moved away from ATL a year ago, and returned Easter weekend to see our kids and some old friends. The house was located near our old neighborhood, so it was very convenient for (and familiar to) us. We brought along our old dog, for a last visit with our kids. The house worked well for him as well, as he could walk around the backyard unleashed. I had difficulty getting the app to work at first (user error I'm sure), and reached out to the owner. He called just as the app starting working. I appreciated his quick help. Overall, we had a very nice time.

Not the best

Although the house was clean and comfortable, I had significant trouble connecting with the host. The driveway was narrow and difficult to maneuver on such a busy street. Despite the initial advertised cost, additional fees bumped the price to more than a local hotel. In addition, the host required some cleanup, which was irritating after the additional cleaning fees. I would not stay here again due to the lack of communication and overall cost. Much easier and cheaper to get a local hotel.

Quick Stay in ATL

This private home was large enough for two couples and a toddler. Great space to come back to at the end of the day. The furnishings were very comfortable and well portioned. Please take note that the en-suite bathroom has a compact sink that makes washing your face or brushing your teeth a bit challenging. Not at all a problem, but important to know. If cooking meals in the kitchen is on your agenda, be aware that there are limited utensils but enough to get by. Knives need sharpening and a few more bowls, pots and pans would be useful. Overall the stay was comfortable and in a great location (be aware it's on a highly trafficked street).

Family Weekend

The property was nice for our short weekend stay. We were out and about most of the weekend so primarily were just sleeping and getting ready there but it was a cute home. It is on a slightly noisy street and there's a narrow driveway but not hard to navigate. Overall, would stay there again.

Maximized space and attentive host

We enjoyed staying here for my daughter’s graduation from Emory. The way this home is laid out, feels spacious and very accommodating to a large group. The host kept in close communication and the property is super cute and ideally located. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and family!
