About the host
Hosted by Michael Harvey
I’m a proud University of Georgia grad (Go Dawgs!!!) and also studied Finance and Accounting at the University of Virginia. After school, I moved to Atlanta and worked in finance for several years before discovering my true passion: hosting.
I started back in 2015 by renting out a spare bedroom, which quickly grew into remodeling a basement and eventually helping friends and family design their own vacation homes. What began as a side project turned into Host This Home in 2018, where I now get to focus full-time on creating comfortable, memorable spaces for travelers.
I also serve as Treasurer for the Atlanta Metro Short-Term Rental Association, where I work with other hosts to keep Atlanta’s short-term rental community strong and welcoming.
When you stay with me, my goal is simple: to make you feel right at home while enjoying everything our city has to offer.

Why they chose this property
We love this neighborhood for its perfect balance of convenience and charm. Located in Decatur, just minutes from downtown Atlanta, guests can easily access Emory, the BeltLine, and all the restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions the city has to offer. At the same time, the tree-lined streets and welcoming community give it a relaxing, residential feel. It’s a great place to come back to after a day of exploring—quiet enough to unwind, yet close to everything.
What makes this property unique
This home was designed for gathering and entertaining, with a standout kitchen and dining area featuring two professional ovens, a wet bar, and multiple dining spaces. The open floor plan, hardwood floors, and oversized rooms create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while the large front and back porches make it easy to enjoy Atlanta’s beautiful weather year-round. Guests especially love the record player and vinyl collection, the spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets, and the convenience of ample parking for large groups. Plus, if you need even more space, there’s an optional carriage house and basement apartment available to rent for an additional fee.
