What you get
Birdhaus lists its facilities in detail on the practical side. The kitchen is complete rather than token, with a dishwasher, an oven, a microwave, a refrigerator and a toaster, plus coffee and the washing machine that goes with a longer stay. There is air conditioning, free wifi and internet access, a desk if you need to work, a TV, an iron and board, a hairdryer and towels. Outside there is a garden and a patio, and there is a swimming pool. Parking is free and on site, pets are allowed, and the property is non smoking. There is a bath and a bathroom, a smoke detector and a first aid kit. Where the list is thin, it is thin in the way a self catering house is thin: nothing here covers food, and what you get is the run of the place rather than service.
What that adds up to is a house for people who want space and a kitchen rather than a room and a breakfast. Birdhaus suits families, groups and anyone staying more than a couple of days, and it suits you if you are driving, since parking is free and included. It also suits you if you are bringing a dog, because pets are allowed. It does not suit anyone who wants a hotel with staff on hand, daily housekeeping or a restaurant downstairs, and the four star label describes the facilities rather than a service style. The house is on Dixie Avenue Northeast, and Inman Park station on the Blue line is the rail label attached to this address.

Where it puts you
Inman Park is on the east side of Atlanta, and the hotels in this group sit inside it rather than near it. The rail connection is Inman Park, Blue, which puts you on the line that runs through the centre of the city. The trail is at the door, so the BeltLine is something you step onto rather than travel to, and the 3.0 figure applies to this neighbourhood.
The site's own summary is Victorian porches, big trees, a MARTA station and the trail, and it calls this the most expensive comfortable choice on the east side. That is a fair description of who it suits: you want to walk out to the trail, ride the Blue line, and come back to a leafy street of old houses. It does not suit you if you are watching what you spend, or if you want the newest buildings and the densest restaurant rows.
Booking it
For a self catering house like Birdhaus, book early if your dates fall on a weekend, because the whole place goes to one group rather than to individual rooms. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.
