Locations based on my personal preference - as usual I don't speak for anyone but myself. Listed in order of desirability:
Buckhead/Lenox - tons of shopping, dining, and accommodation options. Traffic is awful, but hey - this is Atlanta, get used to it. I heard someone complain recently about having to pay for valet parking. This will get you kicked out of the Upscale Gentleman's Club making comments like that.
You are already dropping hundreds of dollars on a sweet young thing - you can give the poor valet guy ten bucks. Lol. Nothing says "I'm a miserable, cheap, bastard you don't want to be around" more than complaining to that same sweet thing how you had to pay for a valet to come see her. Jesus. Live a little.
Sandy Springs, Roswell, Marietta - again lots of shopping, dining, and accommodations. Still reasonably safe. Yep traffic sucks, but again... Atlanta.
Perimeter - good area, traffic seems particularly awful but check your GPS and budget your time accordingly. Has traditionally been a tough area from a LE perspective so use your best judgement.
Other areas can be fine, but here's the way I see it... Traffic is awful everywhere. And if you are going to make me get out in it to come see you, you had better at least have a safe place for me to park. Safety these days is a top priority for me. If I come to a place with a bunch of folks hanging around and the lights are busted out then I'm moving on.
So my point is convenience is important, but safety should always be a top consideration.
PS: Thanks for asking - I hope I didn't rant too much.

There's virtually nothing out my way, about 30 minutes east of Stone Mountain aside from some BP ladies but if you look at the demographics of the Atlanta metro area I understand why a vast majority of local talent north of the city, just outside the perimeter either up off of 400 or Dunwoody/ Roswell. I have no problem heading that way, obviously avoiding a session that starts/ ends anytime during prime traffic time As others have stated I'm hesitant to go into Atlanta for several reasons. Parking, traffic, etc unless I'm seeing a visiting provider who is staying in an upscale hotel that has it's own parking
