Outdoors
Places to visit to get a breath of fresh air or add some steps to your activity level.
Just 3/4 of a mile from the apartment, this 7 mile long walking/running/biking path is beautiful, serene and populated with friendly wildlife. When you get to the T at the start of the trail, my favorite is to turn right, then keep straight at the four-way, take a left at the next intersection over the bridge, then a quick right. But there are many paths.

City advice
Getting around
Transportation from ATL airport
The MARTA train runs from ATL airport on the red line all the way up to North Springs Station. From there, a ride share is about $15 to the apartment. The MARTA is recommended if your flight departs or lands during rush hour (7-10 am and 3:30-7:30 pm).
