Updated condo just one block from Arches

Overlooking UGA’s N. Campus, this is the perfect spot for families or adult getaways. With newly renovated bathrooms, paint, and furniture, this modern and sleek condo is a win. The 2 bedrooms each have a queen bed; the living room has a queen sleeper sofa, and there is a small bunk closet - perfect for kids! It sleeps up to 8, but designed for couples or families; not as a place to party. The bottom level is in the final stages of the Mini Target construction, which should be complete in April.
