About this property
Great Apt. 1 Mile to Downtown Athens & UGA
Spacious 2 bedroom / 2 bath apartment within walking distance of historic downtown Athens, the University of Georgia's campus & Sanford Stadium, restaurants & much more!
Free Wifi, stainless steel appliances, HDTV, fully stocked kitchen (pots & pans, cooking utensils, etc.), electric fireplace, outdoor patio with seating. Ground level provides easy access for children & elderly guests. Accommodates 6 comfortably ( 1 king bed, 1 queen bed & twin daybed w/ twin trundle). Pool open seasonally.
* If your stay is over 28 days, we do ask that you sign a rental agreement.
The city of Athens mirrored the growth of the University of Georgia which was chartered in 1785. It was an industrial town with a focus on Cotton Mills and the Railroad. With this history in mind, the decor of our apartment is industrial rustic with glimpses of UGA decor. The entire apartment is cozy and welcoming. There are two private bedrooms and bathrooms (tub/shower) and a shared open floor-plan kitchen, dining & living area along with an outside patio. It is a ground level apartment.
THINGS TO NOTE PRIOR TO BOOKING:
1. NEIGHBORS: The apartment is located in an apartment complex. We DO NOT have any control over our neighbors and the noises they make. Sleep sound machines are provided in the bedrooms to drown out any outside noise you may hear, but please be mindful that this is an apartment complex that shares walls and ceilings in a college town. Many of its neighbors are long-term rentals that change residents every year. We do not personally know our neighbors, but we ask that you please be respectful, polite, and kind to them all.
2. ALLERGIES: When we (the owners) visit Athens, we do bring our beloved dogs for the trip. We do our best to rid the apartment of any evidence of the dogs, but if you are highly allergic to pets, you may want to choose another location to rent. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
3. PARKING: Parking is free on the premises, but the apartment complex's management company provided us only two parking passes for our guests. You will need to place the parking pass in your cars' dashboard during your stay and return to the apartment upon check-out! (There is a $80 replacement fee per pass.) They are threatening to tow cars if the parking pass if it is not visible in your windshield.
4. HURRICANES: If you book during hurricane season (June-November) and a hurricane looks like it’s going to hit South Georgia (where we live) during the time of your stay, we unfortunately will have to cancel your reservation so that we can safely evacuate our family and animals to Athens. We apologize in advance if this occurs.
5. DESIGN: The apartment has a combination of stained concrete floors and vinyl plank floors. This is for two reasons. One, we like them. Two, if there is ever any flooding from the plumbing above or from heavy rains, the floors are not damaged. Similarly, the tubs in the bathrooms are original. They have been reglazed, but we appreciate that they are cast iron and will last forever. We see no reason to dispose of them. We of course hope you enjoy how the apartment looks, but please carefully look through the pictures BEFORE you come to determine whether or not you can accept or appreciate the design choices that were made. There’s always room for improvement, and we do hope to make more updates in the future when our budget allows. We trust that you will be respectful of our space and design choices.
*** Some of the above statements may seem redundant or unnecessary. However, with the rising cost of fees and taxes applied (that we unfortunately have no control over), guests expectations are increasingly reaching an unattainable reality. This is not a 5 star hotel. This is our comfortable and convenient second home that we are happy to share with you.

About the host
Hosted by Kira King

We are a University of Georgia alumni that fell in love with Athens so much that we just couldn't leave for good.
Why they chose this property
We live in our hometown of Savannah, Georgia but purchased an apartment in Athens in the same complex that we lived in throughout our college years. It's our home away from home, and we're happy to share it! Our hope is that our guests enjoy our apartment and the city of Athens as much as we do. It's such a unique town that just has so much to offer for all ages.
What makes this property unique
Our apartment is walking distance to downtown Athens and Sanford Stadium.
