Downtown is easily accessible from here using public transport and the area also borders on the wonderful Piedmont Park. Restaurants, bars, and clubs are all plentiful.

You’ll also find some historical and cultural attractions, including the enormous Atlanta History Center and its sprawling gardens. Downtown is about a 40-minutes on public transport from here.
