8 Cool Airbnb Rentals In Virginia Highland, Atlanta’s Coolest Neighborhood

Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

If cool and sophisticated is what you’re looking for during your stay in Atlanta then check out the elegant Virginia Highlands neighborhood, the Airbnb homes in the area are to die for. Known as ‘VaHi’ by the locals, the area is bordered by upscale Druid Hills and trendy urban midtown districts, and it’s characterized by craftsman homes, 1920s houses and cool condos.

Visiting in early summer? Then you’re in luck, because the whole neighborhood descends for the annual (and somewhat unimaginatively-named) Summerfest. Expect music, art, stalls selling all sorts, plus plenty of festival food and drinks, like frozen lemonade and funnel cakes. Delicious!

If you’re swinging by Atlanta in winter, meanwhile, why not check out the Tour of Homes, which takes you on a – you guessed it – tour of eight magnificent houses in town. There’s a chef from a local restaurant stationed inside each one cooking up delicious delights for you to sample as you wander round looking at the fancy decor. An excellent way to get to know the neighborhood inside and out.

Fancy channelling your inner Brit whilst in Atlanta? Then VaHi even has its own British Pub on main street where you can get (puts on British accent) bangers and mash or fish and chips! Cor blimey, guv’nor!

Here are some of the finest Virginia Highland vacation rentals available from our friends at Airbnb.
