Located minutes to Emory University, Emory Village and all that Morningside has to offer including the Family Dog, Alons, and Whiskey Bird - this intown location is tough to beat. Around the corner you will also find the Herbert Taylor Park and the Daniel Johnson Nature Preserve - providing walking trails and a nature haven in the middle of the city. Don’t miss this secluded hide-away nestled among historic magnolia trees!
