Staying at Brookwood Courtyard Condominiums by BCA Furnished Apartments was a fantastic experience. Located just across the street from the Peachtree Amtrak Station in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood, this one-bedroom unit offered plenty of space, clean lines, and a modern feel that made it feel like home.

Plenty of power outlets and charging points made it easy to keep devices powered up.

The only minor downside was the lack of ceiling lights outside the kitchen, which made reading a bit challenging in dimmer areas. Also, being on the ground floor without curtains meant less privacy and natural light control. But these small drawbacks didn’t take away from the overall great stay.
