Atlanta’s sprawling nature may seem intimidating, but once you get to know the city’s vibrant neighborhoods, you can’t help but fall in love with it. After living in Atlanta for a decade, I finally have a grasp on what each neighborhood offers—and as a visitor searching for a place to stay, you may not have that luxury, so allow me to point you in the right direction.
A leisurely day calls for a visit to Virginia-Highland, with charming bungalows near great shopping and dining. Midtown is the most cosmopolitan area, with a mixture of high rises, historic buildings, and cultural institutions like the Fox Theatre and High Museum of Art. In Reynoldstown, Old Fourth Ward, and Inman Park, you’ll find a blend of new developments and residential areas close to the BeltLine’s 3.5 mile long Eastside trail (a railroad track turned paved walking and bike path).
And although Atlanta has plenty of wonderful hotels, nothing immerses you in the fabric of the city quite like staying in a real home. Here are 10 Airbnbs to choose from next time you find yourself in the Big Peach, starting with a snapshot of five favorites.
