This historic hose in Athens AL was just what we needed for a family wedding. check in was pretty smooth, with a little trouble with the code easily fixed. The house was just like it was described in the listing. It wasn't as stocked as other rental we have had in the past with things like dishwasher soap, dish soap, dish towels and liquid soap in the bathrooms. One bathroom had what looked like a man had shaved and left hair in the sink, and it had bar soap with hair on it instead of liquid soap. All three queen beds were very hard, all adults agreed. We would recommend this property as it was well designed and nicely decorated with great appliances and plenty of dishes etc. The location was perfect, just a few blocks from downtown. Host was very responsive.
