The house was perfect for a UGA weekend, short drive to downtown, clean, well equipped. Great communication with the host also. Would definitely stay here again.
Great location in Athens, home is very clean and just what we needed for the UGA weekend. Walking distance to Locos and across the street from Publix. Extremely convenient to the loop and downtown. Ubers were very inexpensive all weekend to the home. Will definitely book again!
