The space
Large private 1-bedroom apartment with comfortable queen bed. In addition, an elevated queen sized air mattress is ready for use and fits comfortably in the large living room. A Pack 'N Play is also available for young children or infants upon request.

While there is a fireplace in the unit, we ask that guests please do not use.

Guest access
Guests have access to their own private 1-bedroom apartment with large living room, kitchen and bathroom with distinct entrance.

Other things to note:

1) We have several cats who have access to outdoors and the main house. They do not have access to the apartment, but we thought it was worth noting in case of extreme allergies.

2) This is our family home, we reside completely separately upstairs. Our bedrooms and bathrooms are above the apartment, but we spend most of our time on the opposite end of the house from the space. Our guest room is directly above the bedroom in the apartment and is rarely used in case you're trying to gauge night time noise before 10pm.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be close to Sanford Stadium. The apartment includes amenities such as a kitchen and a patio.
  • Air-conditioned apartment with kitchen, patio and living room
  • 8 minutes by car from University of Georgia and 10 minutes from Sanford Stadium

Great place and location. Just an FYI, if you could update your picture of the front of your house since your front door is a different color. We had a great time and hope to be back soon!

Great stay

We enjoyed our short stay there. Everything was as it said in the description. When we entered, the room smelled a bit odd but it was a basement so we figured that was why. Other than that everything was great!

Lovely

My husband and I needed a place to stay for a few days near our daughter who is a grad student at UGA. We opted for this instead of a motel as we usually do. We were not disappointed. The place is cute and cozy and perfect for a few days spent in Athens. Great location and neighborhood and very lovely people. The place was clean and well stocked. Both the bed and the shower were great. We will definitely stay here on our trips to visit our daughter in the future.

A place to relax

Our stay was easy, comfortable and relaxing. The apartment and neighborhood is very quiet, absolutely no traffic sounds. If the weather had been warmer it also would have been a nice place to spend time outside as a grill is provided and a table and chairs and nice area of lawn. Everything was made easy as possible.

Quiet basement apartment has everything you need for your stay - kitchen & bath is well stocked, though I did not need it for my overnight stay. Bedding is comfortable. Matt was very responsive to my questions & provided thorough information prior to my arrival. Will consider staying in the future.

UGA Parent’s Weekend

Matt was super easy to work with. The basement apt was a perfect home base to visit our daughter at UGA and go the football game. The hosts thought of everything you might need including toiletries, coffee, waters, etc. And our daughter is missing her cat from home and enjoyed seeing the hosts cats around the yard! We would stay here again when we visit Athens.

This is a great little basement apartment, I've stayed twice now and both stays were great. I plan to make this my normal place when I'm in Athens, which is a frequent occurrence because that's where my grandbaby is.

Great little apartment

This was a nice, comfortable little apartment, in a wooded subdivision. You have everything you need, the kitchen has labels so you don't have to guess where things are. This is an apartment, so you will hear them moving around upstairs, just like you would in any apartment or hotel, but they seem to be early to bed people because it's quiet by 9 or 10. I was very happy with my stay and plan to stay there for future visits.

Visiting relatives

The property was as listed. Very, very nice and accommodating. Owners are right there when you have any questions. Beautifully decorated, really loved the pump in the shower with all your bath needs. Will definitely return to this property, as I come down to Athens to visit relatives. Thanks for a short but sweet stay!!!

Extended Stay

We rented here for 6 weeks while waiting to close on our new house. Overall, our stay was okay. The space was relatively clean and the yard & patio out back is beautiful. Our biggest complaint would be the noise. The jumping, running, & screaming above us was LOUD and frequent. The apartment is private, but we did not realize that it shared the bottom level with the family home. While the spaces are separated by a locked door, we could easily hear conversations in the room over, which made it feel significantly less private. We could hear the family snoring above us at night, but luckily the room came with a sound machine which we greatly appreciated. The property was nice and came stocked with all the necessities, just not recommended for light sleepers or folks prone to headaches. Matt & Tiffany are fantastic and were very accommodating hosts. They were very responsive when we reached out, and they even replaced the stove for us when it went out. We really appreciated their professionalism and would highly recommend them as hosts.
