Description of the home we are offering for exchange
860 square foot home in amazing intown Atlanta neighborhood. Hardwood floors, great big windows that provide lots of light, beautiful handmade furniture, walking distance to MARTA (Atlanta subway system), walking distance to 3 shopping centers/restaurants, across the street from Candler Park and Candler Park Golf Course, walking distance to Beltline and Freedom Parkway Trails (jogging/walking/biking paths). I bought this place in November 2018 so I'm still having fun with the design and looking for the right furniture for the living room. :)

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Candler Park is the best Atlanta neighborhood! It is very safe, loaded with trees and parks, very family friendly, walkable, and has shops and restaurants. It's quiet but knows how to have a good time, and sometimes hosts festivals at the park.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Here are some of the most popular Candler Park attractions.
Everyone loves Candler Park Market as the best walking distance shop to stock up on craft beer and a large selection of wines.
People line up to enjoy Flying Biscuit Café brunch at the original FB location (https://www.flyingbiscuit.com/).
A 10 minute walk away is Little Five Points retail district, a very hip, artsy place to hang out. "Little Five" boasts a small theater with big headliners, The Variety Playhouse (http://www.variety-playhouse.com/), the best burritos in Atlanta (https://www.elmyr.com/), a few brew pubs with amazing house-made beers (http://www.wreckingbarbrewpub.com/), one of the best spots to watch Premier League Soccer (http://www.brewhousecafe.com/), and the funkiest store you'll ever visit, Junkman's Daughter (https://www.thejunkmansdaughter.com/). Little Five Points has lots more to offer in terms of food and shopping that you need to check out yourself.
Walk west for 30 minutes and you'll find the Inman Park neighborhood retail district with great restaurants like Beetlecat (shockingly delicious seafood), Bar Taco (amazing tacos), Barcelona (yes, tapas), Parish (cajun food), and the new and wonderful Krog Street Market (http://krogstreetmarket.com/).
Also within a 30 minute walk is Ponce City Market (https://poncecitymarket.com/), one of the most popular intown Atlanta spots for restaurants and shopping, and home to my favorite sewing store and hangout spot, Topstitch (https://topstitchatl.com/).

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
It is important for me to find my house neat and tidy when I get back. My father made most of the furniture in my home, and it's important for me to keep it looking good. What I'm saying is please use coasters on wooden surfaces, and please don't scratch any wooden surfaces.
