About this property

Experience the Pulse of Atlanta: Historic Home Next to Piedmont Park, Universities, & More

Greetings, allow me to introduce myself. I am Miss Monroe, I am a duplex and Ms Monroe is directly beside me, we can both be rented together as a 3 bedroom as well (ask hosts about our availability if you need 3 bedrooms) We are known as the Midtown/VA Highland's Roller-coaster! This peculiar name was bestowed upon me due to my location atop a steep hill that requires some effort to reach. I value honesty and transparency, so let me be upfront about who I am: a true Urban City Gal. I adore all that the city has to offer, including its vibrant noises. Positioned on one of Atlanta's busiest and most frequented streets, my surroundings never sleep, and I take great pride in that fact. When you choose to stay with me, prepare to be serenaded by the constant symphony of sounds that inspires me day and night. If you're not a fan of the diverse array of noises, be it white, black, blue, green, or whatever new term they've coined for it this year, then I may not be your cup of tea. (I do have a small sound machine in each sleeping area to support with blocking out city noise) ) To me, these nocturnal sounds resemble the calming ebb and flow of the ocean. If I desired silence at night, I would have insisted on being constructed in the tranquil N Ga Mountain. I also want to make it clear that I am not a youthful, newly developed urban beauty, and I have no desire to be compared to them. Of course, I could have undergone various rejuvenating procedures, but I made the conscious decision to age gracefully. No facelifts for me (I despise power tools), what you see is what you get. My plumbing and electrical systems may be on the older side, and you may encounter unfamiliar noises here and there. Forget about soundproofing; that concept wasn't even considered back in 1930. Furthermore, my bathroom is on the cozier side (I'm thrilled to have maintained my size over all these years). I may not possess a sleek, polished appearance; instead, I boast a weathered charm vibe. —Now, let's discuss my strengths. I am situated in a sublime area of Midtown, with the magnificent Piedmont Park spanning hundreds of acres right behind me. This picturesque park offers the perfect setting for picnics, weekend events, or leisurely strolls with your furry companions.(Pet Fee Stay is $85 and collected after you book) Additionally, I am just minutes away from all the thrilling city attractions. Your culinary needs will be met by my fully-equipped kitchen, allowing you to prepare delightful meals for your family during your stay. Furthermore, I offer a marvelous vantage point for people-watching, as I sit high above Monroe Drive. Unlike many others, I provide the luxury of off-street parking. If you fancy a leisurely walk or a quick jog, you'll find various restaurants, pubs, and running/walking areas within easy reach. And let's not forget the excitement of Ponce City Market, a mere stone's throw away, offering a plethora of enjoyable shopping experiences.

Stressful Stay

This place WAS NOT CLEAN when we arrived. There were stains on the bed and lots of loose hairs on the linens and towels. The drive way up the hill feels dangerous and is super scary. The location is the best thing about this place.

Excellent Stay!

We loved the location of the Roller-Coaster, so close to all the attractions we were headed to in the City. Everything we needed to be comfortable was easily found and our property managers were easy to communicate with. The driveway was interesting, but it gives the property a great name!

Cottage Getaway in Heart of Midtown

My mom and I very much enjoyed our stay in the cottage, it was perfect for us. We especially enjoyed drinking coffee in the breakfast nook and sitting in the evening at the outside patio. Everything we needed was provided and we both thought the beds were exceptional!

Great stay

This was the perfect apartment for our three day stay in Atlanta. Great location, very clean, and exactly as advertised. Hosts were extremely welcoming and very responsive to communication. I had a minor issue with the lock on the door but was able to get it resolved within minutes because of how responsive owners were. I highly recommend.

Cozy

We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy house. It was just my teenage daughter and me and it was the perfect size. Everything was clean and neat, lots of little extras to make our stay easy. It was the best location to Piedmont Park, it made for an easy and safe walk. Definitely will stay again recommend this for a quiet getaway for mother/daughter trip or couples trip.

July 4th Trip

This is a comfortable apartment located steps from Piedmont Park. I stayed there with my dogs and loved how easy it was to walk them in the park and go to the dog park. Also very convenient to Midtown, Virginia Highlands and Buckhead. It is an older property, but is well appointed. The host team members are very good communicators. Checked in twice during my stay to make sure I had everything I needed.

Everything went as planned. Loved the place and the location. Pay heed to the description (especially regarding the driveway). We did not have any issues, but it could be an issue. The lights at the Botanical Gardens were INCREDIBLE!!!

Only drawbacks

The door in the kitchen that separates the two units is a poor sound insulator. Warning on the steepness and width of the drive would be a good idea. A full size SUV would have a real issue with it.

Next time.. someplace else.

Great location, tiny place with charm, but also had a lingering vomit smell in the kitchen that seemed to be a permanent resident and that driveway is no joke. Wet pavement on our check in day and the driver almost didn't make it up. That was the only time we had any drivers come up to get us, and walking up and down it with purchases and luggage wasn't a treat either. Prolly won't repeat the experience.

Great location

The house was cozy and had everything we needed to “work from home.” Lots of places within walking distance for groceries, food and drinks. There was a day during our stay that the unit behind ours was under construction. The entire driveway was blocked off, so we were unable to leave in our vehicles. The construction noise was incredibly loud and distracting, and made it hard to work. It was frustrating because the host did not communicate at all about this. There was zero acknowledgment before or after.

A few issues

Landlords were in good contact. However, keyless entry never worked, no outdoor garbage cans as stated in instructions. Vrbo issued a checkout notice on Saturday evening stating we had checked out early. That is concerning as we never input this information. Driveway is too steep- if it should be raining I’d really worry. Cute place inside though. Other places offer morning coffee supply, this place did not.

Convenient, clean, safe place to stay

The directions and overall communication from the home owners was great. The driveway was manageable and using the "driveway stairs" when walking up and down helps a great deal! The tip in another review about entering the drive from the left was 100% accurate. This house is located in a family oriented neighborhood, within easy walking distance to a HUGE park (piedmont park), Marta bus stop, and local restaurants. Only about 10 to 15 minute drive to downtown Atlanta where there is tons of things to do ( we LOVED the Georgia Aquariam). Grocery stores are about a half mile (?) away. Overall, convenient location, Clean and comfortable house, and our doggie was happy there too!

We loved the character of this vintage duplex!!! Charming cottage, great location to so many Atlanta attractions, minutes from downtown and seconds to Starbucks. Host upgraded us due to a cleaning schedule mix up without us asking, the larger side of the duplex fit us perfectly. Super easy to communicate with host. Would love to stay here again!
