Could not have been a more perfect stay! From the decor, the comfortable beds and linens, the privacy, the amazing back deck, and just the overall feel of this place, Allen has created the perfect retreat. As a travel nurse, it’s so close to many local hospitals, which is also great! When I am in the area again, I will absolutely stay here.

Enjoyed this stay. Great communication, location and pretty clean. The windows over the showers could use some stylish window privacy film; kinda felt like people could see me. Either way, I would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend this location.

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.

Our stay in Allen's lovely home was topnotch - warm, clean and comfy, with just the right amenities to help relax between our planned activities with family. Allen was proactive in communicating with me, and a pleasure to work with. No complaints - we will hope to stay at Allen's place next time we're in Atlanta!

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
