Great location. Very clean and spacious house with lush backyard, great to have private driveway parking in back of house. The upstairs bathroom is a private serenity spa oasis. A special retreat to relax. A wonderful neighborhood to walk and enjoy the lush trees of Decatur. If you plan to cook and use the beautiful updated modern kitchen, bring your own supplies- great for take out or cooking a breakfast, not fully stocked kitchen for meal prep for a full meal. Great brand new appliances and lovely ambiance. Bedrooms spacious, great supply of linens for bath and kitchen. We look forward to future stays when in Atlanta.

We really enjoyed our stay at this charming 1920s bungalow within walking distance to downtown Decatur. The home has tons of character. The location is a big plus—close to local shops, restaurants and Emory University Hospital, which made getting around super convenient.One of our favorite features was the quiet nature path at the end of the cul-de-sac directly across the street. It was such a treat to take a relaxing walk there one sunny afternoon.As always, great communication from host and the home was fresh & clean upon arrival.

The house has so much character and all modern conveniences. The host has thought of everything - tvs in all bedrooms, plenty of nice towels, handsoaps & shampoo, plenty of extra trash bags & paper towels, laundry supplies & kitchen utensils & pans. The kitchen appliances are top-notch & the whole house was spotless! The location was great - convenient to stores & restaurants.

Everything about our stay was good. House is attractive and well furnished; check in was smooth and trouble free. Everything worked great. Our only suggestions would be to add wine glasses and see if light in downstairs bath could be improved. All in all, a delightful experience!
