☆☆ GUEST REVIEWS☆☆
"We had a great stay at Alex’s! There was great communication throughout, and the host provided super clear and easy check-in/out instructions. The unit itself felt brand new with very comfortable beds, solid water pressure, lovely decor, and thoughtful touches throughout. It was so nice being on Barnett Shoals with easy access to the east side and all the restaurants on that side of town without having to get into the chaos of downtown on an SEC gameday weekend. We would not hesitate to stay here again!"
- Stephanie

"This place was extremely clean!!! Comfy beds, beautiful decor, and very spacious. It was perfect for us! Alex was also super responsive & gave very clear instructions with photos of how to get to there! I would 10000% stay here again"

The house is very comfortable and cozy and I left feeling so refreshed after I left. Would absolutely stay here again the next time I am looking to visit Athens!"

Hotels near our conference were full, so we found this lovely place to stay for the week. It was wonderful - very clean and comfortable! Excellent communication and parking right in front of the door! Location was super close to downtown and also a Publix (within a couple miles of each!). Would stay here again and highly recommend!!
