First time in Atlanta

Hi this will be my first time in Atlanta. I’ve been told to stay in Buckhead, well whenever is the nicer of the two, I get Buckhead and Bankhead confused. lol
Are there any recommendations on where to house while I’m in town? Perhaps a location with shopping and restaurants? Any tips/help would be appreciated

Buckhead is nice but expensive. You can also look at Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Grant Park, Inman Park. Atlanta is definitely a car-centric city so all depends on what you want to have around.
