Cozy Apartment Retreat in East Atlanta
Had a great time! Comfy bed, great A.C, and plenty of room for 3 adults. The pull out couch wasn't super comfortable, it seemed to dip at the head but that could just be error user. Our hostess was super sweet and very prompt with any questions or needs we had. 10/10 would stay again!
