I booked this property not knowing exactly where I was going to be working in Atlanta. Turns out, it was a perfect location: less than 20 minutes from the airport via Lyft and only 14 minutes from the studio where I would be working for two days.
The apartment was clean and well-equipped, the bed was comfortable, the shower and tub were great. Although there is no concierge or front desk, there is a restaurant (Noodoh) with a good bar in the same building, and a really great restaurant (Poor Calvin's) just down the block and across the street. There is also a Publix within easy walking distance.
I was a little confused about getting into the building at first but once I got the email explaining it all and it actually worked fine, I was more at ease. I didn't know anything about the neighborhood or how safe it was but it was quiet and there always seemed to be people around so I never felt alone.
I missed having a front desk at first, but got used to using the code to let myself in. I'm conflicted about whether I would prefer to stay in a hotel with extra amenities because the price and the location were so good at Dorsen Stay. And Lyft worked great for transportation.
In conclusion, given the demands of my work schedule, it made sense to stay in a place like Dorsen Stay with good basics but no frills. The value is incomparable and I felt safe and comfortable.
