While staying with us at Garden Suite (Atlanta) or The GYO Suite (Atlanta), here are a few things we would like to share with you.
The yard: Feel free to walk about this 1-acre lot (front, back and side). Grab your favorite beverage and do your morning stroll while listening to the birds. This long driveway is perfect for doing your 20 - 30 mins walk (if) you don't want to walk the streets. You will find benches strategically placed around the property thus adding to your outdoor activities.
Parking: Complimentary parking is for 1 vehicle only. In the event you have 2 vehicles, park 1 vehicle in the designated spot for your suite then park the other vehicle on the street. Parking is at your own risk (whether on the driveway or on the street).
The neighborhood: Pretty much quiet residential neighborhood. It's great for taking a morning walk, stroll or jog. Some guests also drive up to the beautiful Stone Mountain Park (8 mins away) and join the scores of joggers and walkers.
Restaurants, shopping, library, pharmacy, gas stations are nearby. Just a 10 mins walk, or a 3 mins drive will take you to 3 different shopping plazas including Hairston Square, Redan Village and Crowe's Crossing.
In Hairston Square, you will find Taste of Jamaica, Dollar General, Walgreen Pharmacy, Waffle House and Los Arcos Mexican Restaurant. In Crowe's Crossing, you will find Kroger's Supermarket, Pappa John Pizza, A1 Wings, WNB Wings and Burgers, Rice China, Popeye's Chicken, Coin Laundry, MacDonalds, and a Liquor Store. You will also find Golden Krust Jamaican Restaurant, Banana Tree Jamaican Restaurant and Wendy's nearby.
Redan Village houses Little Ceasar's Pizza, Zaxby's, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Lupitas Mexican Restaurant, Brewster's Ice Cream, Nail Salons and a Night Club.
If you walk out (or) drive out of our driveway and take a left (on Ellis), go down to Redan at the traffic light and make a left. When you get to the corner of Redan and South Hairston area you will see one shopping center on your right. If you cross over Redan and South Hairston, you will see another shopping center on your left and also one on your right.
