236 Oglethorpe A&B · Rare & Beautifully Updated 9 Bed, 8 Bath Townhome

The location was excellent, the home was beautiful and spacious. We enjoyed even the spiral stairs. Positive: The location was great, we right on the edge of downtown. Everything was in walking distance and trolley stops. Negative: Not enough TVs for large groups and the door knobs were close to the door frame which caused some pinched and caught fingers. We are cookers so I do suggest to have larger cookware for large families or groups.

I will start with -take all reviews with a grain of salt. What others think is terrible may not really be and what some think are great may only be good, it all depends on your prospective and what is important to you. 1) Location! We were able to walk everywhere! I wouldn’t want to stay on any other street after staying here. 2) Our group rented the whole house, having 7 bathrooms for 9 bedrooms was amazing. The only bedroom that we didn’t like much was the one with the bunkbed, very difficult for an adult to get in or out safely but that was just our opinion. 3rd) 2 kitchens with all those people was great, not that we cooked, but having the space for water, drinks, snacks was fabulous. There are too many amazing restaurants to eat at the house! Now here is where perspective of other reviews comes into play. 1) I hadn’t seen the review about bedbugs until after my stay, glad I didn’t. The furniture has all been replaced. That was the first thing I noticed when we walked in, it had all brand-new fabric furniture and had obviously been fumigated for bugs. Rest assured; the company took care of it. 2) The spiral staircase So many reviews on other sites complaining about this and that you can’t carry luggage up it, which is true (parking in back so that’s the stairway to use if you do) Here is a tip – PARK OUT FRONT TO UNLOAD ALL LUGGAGE and then park in the driveway– it’s that simple! This house has 4 floors & 3 sets of stairs that you must climb.

The location was great . I feel the price was a little high but not horrible . This was our family first vacation together 10 adults and two kids .We have been planning this trip for a long time and over the years with three of us being in the military and my parents age and accommodation need such as a room with no stairs and kids in school it took several years to get a matching schedule 1.first day we walked in the house and it smelled.we spent a couple hours cleaning both kitchens.This is were the smell was coming from . And we would be spending most of our time . 2.The rooms was ok closets had no room to store clothes the clothes was cluttered with different stuff. The property over and location was great . Not in the center of things but a short walk or stumble away from a great time. 3.Night two while all gathering in the kitchen area my said she saw a big . But we couldn’t find it , minutes later I saw a big on the couch pillow . I used my phone flash to examine the bug . Google the bug and I was a bed bug.I was can the couch and realize there was several on the furniture which we had been sitting on for a second day.we made attempts that night to reach someone so we could just tell them we would like a refund and we were going to leave. 4.the next day the owner did reach out to me and actually offered another property. But it wasn’t near our desired area we paid to be in ..the owner gave us half of our money back so I will do only a half of a review .

Stayed with our large family for SCAD graduation so we used all 4 levels. It looks set up to rent the two top and two bottom levels. The home was well appointed with coffee maker. Some cleanliness details for toaster and oven were needed. Good thing we didn’t need to cook. Two kitchens were great for the occasion since we brought in most perishables. A different solution to the spiral staircase is needed. It’s awkward going through the bedroom downstairs and going outside if you don’t want to use them. My 83 yr old MIL was with us. Be advised that some of the queen beds are more like a day bed and the twin is a trundle. This doesn’t work for most adults sharing a room. Fortunately we were family. The middle bunk is hard to get in unless you’re a small child. The location was excellent. We walked mostly everywhere and being able to park our cars in back was a plus. I would’ve like to hear from the host well before arrival. I paid and besides a thank you for booking email I heard nothing. I sent a message with a few questions and I got nervous when I didn’t hear back for a while. It is a two way trust relationship. I get it. The description said we would hear a week before arrival and when that didn’t happen I reached out. I was super nervous as it was my first time paying so much for a place I haven’t seen and hosting my family. I was relieved upon arrival to see that the place was so nice. Lots of stairs though so you will get a workout if using the whole house.

Great atmosphere
