What you get
The name tells you the shape of the place before you arrive: a family home with a fenced yard, not a serviced property. What 5 Mi to Dtwn Atlanta: Family Home w Fenced Yard actually lists is short and concrete: free wifi and free car parking. That is the whole of it. No restaurant, no gym, no shuttle, no breakfast, no pool. The fenced yard and the trail at the door are the outdoor facts, and free parking is the one guests will notice first because most of Atlanta charges for it. This is a two-star listing and it does not pretend otherwise.
For the right person, 5 Mi to Dtwn Atlanta: Family Home w Fenced Yard is a straightforward base. You park, you get online, you have a yard for children, and the trail is at the door for a walk without getting in the car. Westview is a residential pocket and West End is 15 min by rail, so a carless day into town is possible from there. Where it falls down is for anyone wanting service, food or a lobby, because none of that is listed. It suits drivers and families; it does not suit travellers who want a full-service stay.

Where it puts you
Westview is on the west side of Atlanta, and the rail connection lists as West End, 15 min, which is what puts the rest of the city within reach without a car. The BeltLine trail is at the door, so you can step out and walk or ride from the property itself. The neighbourhood is residential to the point of sleepy: bungalows, a couple of very good restaurants and the Westside Trail.
This suits you if you want quiet, a trail on the doorstep and a straightforward run to the West End rail stop. It does not suit you if you want to be in the middle of bars, shops and foot traffic, because Westview is not that. The BeltLine mile marker here is 11.4, so you are on the trail but well away from the busiest stretches.
