    The bed was comfy. The location was perfect. It was raining, so water bugs came into the cottage.

    This place checked all the boxes. A very cool, comfortable cottage on a quiet street, close to MARTA and the square. Dawn, the host, was responsive and friendly. Her back yard provided plenty of great sniffs for our terrier! We loved the place, and are already talking about booking next year.

    The owner was helpful. I told here there were cockroaches in the unit but she came to the unit and explained that the cockroaches were actually palmetto bugs and only come in after in rains.I didn't understand how to get off the property the moring after I checked in, but the owner explained that there is a hole in the fence that you put your hand through to lift the handle. The stove top had only 1 of 4 burners working but the owner explained that there was a hot top in the kitchen.

    This quiet cottage at the end of a dead-end street was comfortable. It was simply too hot in late June (with the heat wave) to do any walking to the downtown Decatur area, but we did enjoy the neighborhood walks and parks nearby early in the morning and late evenings. The cottage is charmingly outfitted and comfortable, but there is no laundry facility as the listing suggests (I know Dawn is working to fix it). She was gracious enough to let us do a load of laundry in the main house as we had just arrived after 5 days of camping!Our dog was grateful for the yard and the little patio was perfect for us to hangout (when it got cool enough to after 7 PM). The main house was empty so there was plenty of privacy for us, but I wonder how that might be if it were occupied. The kitchenette is in the sleeping space, so we found lingering food smells after cooking small meals.

    Very cute cottage on a cul-de-sac, so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Comfortable, clean, relaxing. I walked from the cottage to Decatur town square, 10 minutes. Also walked from Avondale MARTA station, 10 minutes.

    The back yard looks NOTHING like the pictures. It has a damp basement ordor. We walked in and instantly the ordor hit us. My family member has terrible allergies so we decided it would be best not to stay.

    The cottage is in close proximity to Downtown Decatur and had everything we needed. It’s in a quiet, nice neighborhood ! Dawn was great with communication and a real pleasure to speak to. The cottage is a definite when we return to Atlanta.

    Overall ok, but ac units coming on and going off all night kept my family awake. Plus, other occupants of the main house parked cars in the drive way that made incredibly difficult to access the unit. Very tough for my elderly Mother. No a good set up… would not rent again…. Certainly for that amount of money.
