About this property

Historic ATL Charmer - Cozy & Convenient Near DWNT, Sights, Events, & DWTN

Atlanta is a true FOUR season city. Right now, we are in the colorful Spring season - which is amazing in Atlanta.

Spring comes early to Atlanta. And it's definitely events and trade show seasons! Hartford House is close to some of the best events, sightseeing, and shopping in the Southeast. Take a staycation or vacation to one of the most underrated cities in the US. Atlanta truly is an exciting city.

Now warm enough (relatively speaking) to enjoy outside activities and the zoo; and there are also tons of indoor activities, such as museums, shopping, and performances, for any rainy day.

Hartford House is perfectly located for your home base while in the Atlanta area. We call Hartford House our "nice and comfy" home base.

We call it NICE because it has a few more details guests won't find in other rentals in the area, like a working gas fireplace, a roomy "sit and stay" front porch, a sunny and private side deck, and 3 sizes of beds and basically 3 levels of firmness. And TONS of pillows.

It's COMFY because guests are so comfortable they feel like they live here--and with just a few blocks to the train station and a few stops from the airport on the train, guests find the house to be the perfect home base for their business or leisure travel.

Come visit and you will see why guests love Hartford House. Less than 3 miles from Mercedes-Benz Stadium, only a few blocks to the MARTA Train Station, and so close to Atlanta's tourist sites - such as the world famous aquarium and our amazing little zoo.

10 minutes to Fox Theatre and other Midtown points of interest, like the world famous Piedmont Park. Less than 10 minutes to the zoo, the aquarium, and Downtown. A short ride to the MKL sites. 3 minutes to 3 of the best breweries (and distillery) in the city. Close to some great natural areas (Arabia Mountain, Cascade Springs, Sweetwater Creek, and relatively close to Lake Lanier & Stone Mountain).

Nestled under Atlanta's famous tree canopy, on a quiet street, you will have all the convenience of the city, while in a restful, and REAL, neighborhood. Believe it or not, we have foxes, owls, and lots and lots of birds. It's the best of both worlds...close to the glam of the city, but on a street that feels like the country!

Home Away From Home

From the moment we booked our stay, it was evident that this experience would be unlike any other. The warmth and hospitality made us feel like cherished friends long before we even set foot in ATL. Upon arrival, we were greeted with not only a cozy home but also a wealth of insider knowledge. From hidden gem restaurants to quaint coffee shops & even tips on family-friendly attractions like a new children's museum. Ms. Laura left no stone unturned in ensuring our stay would be memorable. What truly sets Ms. Laura apart is her genuine openness, honesty, & passion for her city. It's clear that she not only knows ATL like the back of her hand but also loves sharing its wonders with her guests. Having raised her own family in this very home, Ms. Laura's insights added an extra layer of authenticity to our experience. One of the highlights of our stay was the sense of community we felt. Before we even had a chance to unpack, a friendly family from down the street welcomed us with open arms, reaffirming our belief that true hospitality knows no bounds. While ATL may not be known for its quiet streets, Ms. Laura's neighborhood provided a peaceful retreat from the hustle & bustle of the city center. We felt completely safe exploring the area with our kids. Of course, no visit to ATL would be complete without a trip to the aquarium, a recommendation we 100% endorse. In summary, if you're searching for a host/rental that feel like an extention of home/family, this is it.

Very charming house, great host

The house was adorable and clean, and it was close to multiple popular Atlanta attractions. The hostess was very helpful and responsive, and she put together several booklets about things to do/places to eat in the area. We had a great stay and definitely recommend!

Super clean and cozy!

This was one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed at. I have my own cleaning business so I'm kind of a stickler when it comes to cleanliness, I always carry cleaning supplies when I stay anywhere. This place was super clean so I didn't have to use them. The neighborhood is very quiet. I felt comfortable and safe. That being said, at first driving through the surrounding areas it may look a little sketchy but my family and I felt safe. It is an urban area so we expected it to have a few houses that weren't immaculate. The house is older so it does creak a little when you walk through certain areas. Our host was super attentive and quickly responded to any questions I had. She left us a few beers and sodas in the fridge which I thought was a nice touch. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Hartford House. It was very homey and clean. Next time we come to Atlanta, we would love stay here again.

Cute old house

The house was cute and cozy. The neighborhood was a little sketchy. My son had a man ask for money when we were getting in our cars. The host was very friendly and attentive. Overall, a good stay.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Robinson

Travel is one of the most important priorities for our family of four. We have been traveling the country since are kids were babies - we have seen all 48 contiguous states, plus Alaska. We love traveling... and we are so pleased to be able to offer our nice and comfortable home to other fellow travelers at a reasonable cost. Because we have seen most of the United States, up close and personal, and we know Atlanta is one of the most welcoming, interesting, and exciting cities in the country. Atlanta offers something for every traveler and our small neighborhood of Capitol View in Southwest Atlanta gives guests a chance to be in the city -- but also in a less frantic part of town. We absolutely love being able to host travelers in our home. We also LOVE nice people. We call our home nice and comfy and we are nice people ourselves. We so enjoy opening our home to other NICE people. If you love historic homes in historic neighborhoods, love nice parks, and nice tree lined streets, you love nice comforts of a cozy home, you will love our Hartford House. We also believe nice people understand that Atlanta is a city just like any other city. It is not sterile...it has real people here, and not everyone will look and act like you. We believe this is an advantage of our neighborhood, not a negative. We also will do everything within our control to ensure you have a comfortable and pleasant stay with us...and in turn we expect our guests to be reasonable and that they also are respectful of our home, our neighbors, and our neighborhood. And the end of the day, we have found most people really like our home and 'hood. Atlanta is everything a mid-sized Southern city should be. We hope you come see us--we think you will like it, too.

Why they chose this property

We love our home because it is the perfect combination of city and "country" with exceptional proximity to everything Atlanta has to offer. The home is on a tree lined street in an historic neighborhood that has retained its authentic character and interesting and cool vibe. We are proud that Capitol View is one of the remaining neighborhoods that has stayed true to its roots and we are ecstatic that we can offer a nice home for guests that is at a price point that makes traveling accessible for anyone. You will find a more manicured neighborhood in Atlanta, but not at our price point, and not with our amazing neighbors and authentic feel. This is in the city...and wonderfully close to downtown and most attractions --- but because it IS in the city, it is possible that you might encounter certain city elements. We can never guarantee you won't see any homeless individuals, or trash on the city roads, or any unpleasantries. We can promise however, that as hosts we will always give you accurate information, answer any questions you have, provide all reasonable assistance, and be as helpful and honest as we can be about our home, our neighborhood, and the city. You will tell you enthusiastically that we love our home and love Atlanta. We hope you love it also!

What makes this property unique

Our rental home is very close to the city's mass transit system (MARTA) and only a few stops from the airport (or a few miles if you are renting a car instead of taking the train). The neighborhood has one of the best city parks, with tennis, DISC golf, and a playground with splashpad in the summer. Our neighborhood is only a mile off the interstate, but provides access to the city on surface streets when traffic is heavy. You can walk or bike to the famous Atlanta Beltline directly from the doorstep. You can feel the history of the house and the neighborhood, with its generous front porch and Atlanta-themed decor. We have a very active neighborhood association, and neighbors who actually wave at you and have time for conversation. It's a small town area in the city - so it has the best of the country and the city.
