City advice
Getting around
So Much To Do!
You are staying in the beating heart of Atlanta. You are located at the border of Inman Park and The Old 4th Ward. Everything listed here is very close by foot or short Uber ride. Be sure to find the Beltline. The Beltline is a 22 mile walking trail that circumnavigates the city . It connect scores of neighborhoods all interesting in their own way. You can walk, bike, or rent a scooter on the Beltline and it is the main transportation artery of the area. Traffic & parking is awful all over the ATL. The more you stay on foot or in Uber, the more fun you will have. Enjoy!!
