Weekend stay

We traveled to Athens for a statewide event. The location was within 10 minutes driving to everywhere we needed to be all weekend. The unit is cozy, homelike and well equipped. We would stay again.

Quiet Location

We were there for the SEC Championships swim meet at UGA and the location was ideal because we we were close enough to walk to campus on the adjacent bike trail or drive 3 minutes if we didn't have the time to walk. The condo was clean, quiet and comfortable. The only recommendation is to add some blackout shades to the east-facing bedroom, the sunlight in the morning is intense.

Comfy and nice place to stay

Very nice place - cozy, comfy, clean, provided everything needed. Plenty of comfortable seating in the common area. Nice big screen TV. Comfortable beds. One of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed in. Plenty of parking. Close to downtown area. Enjoyed the UGA Dawg decor! One note: there are a lot of stairs,

Wonderful place, amazing owner

Booked a somewhat last-min. stay for the G-Day game, property is clean, well-stocked and so adorable. Bedrooms spacious, beds extremely comfy. Very close to the campus/stadium as the crow flies, but actual walk would take a min since lots of hills. We drove extra early to find parking.Only issue I ran into was trying to get the app for door lock working, but owner thinks of everything annd had an lockbox with key on site so it worked out just fine. Owner was wonderfully accommodating, everyone was very happy, sending love from Raleigh! Thank you again

Loved this property

Allison's property is just perfect for a getaway to Athens. The condo is very close to downtown and great places to eat. The condo is exactly as advertised, very clean and well put together. Allison was a delight to work with. She was very responsive and helpful with check-in. 10/10 would stay here again!

Fantastic stay

We loved our time at Allison’s home. I feel like with so many other home rentals, we’re staying in a random property that’s a glorified halfway house. Not here! We truly felt like guests in Allison’s personal home and the hospitality was a 10/10. We stayed here for the Georgia game and the VRBO was a 20 minute walk to campus - very convenient. All the amenities were wonderful and check in process was easy. We will be back!
