About this property

Wonderful, private 1-BR Apartment With Great Deck, Huge Yard

This well-appointed, charming 1-BR apartment features a very quiet bedroom with a queen size bed, premium 400-threadcount linens, a separate sitting / living room with a fold-out couch, a full kitchen with dining for four, and a full bathroom.
Located in one of Decatur's best neighborhoods (Winnona Park), it is 1/4 mile from Agnes Scott College and a 15-minute walk from downtown Decatur Square. Downtown Atlanta is about 15-20 minutes by car, and access to public transport is easy too: a bus leaves literally 100 feat from the property and takes 2 minutes (2 stops) to the downtown Decatur MARTA train station.
The apartment is in a separate structure from the main house, atop a 2-car garage in the back of a large lot. It also has a large deck with gas grill for BBQ and outdoor seating for four, in midst trees and lots of green. Very quiet, very privat and suitable for singles, romantic getaways, traveling with children (a well-stocked library has over 100 books, as well as dozens of kids titles), or long-term rentals. The full kitchen has a full gas stove and oven, large fridge, coffee maker (com,mentally Starbucks coffee and organic teas) and all utensils, plates, silver- and glassware for four people.

Weekend Staycation

“Communication is key”, and Dan did so very well. This cute little one bedroom apartment, in hip Decatur, was close enough to everything to be convenient and far enough to be immune from any late night bar patrons and their boisterous closing-time noise. You can try to find better food than Decatur can offer but it won’t be easy; and plenty of venues for music and arts and the bedroom feel just a few blocks from its city center make this a great place to visit!

Wonderful Little Place

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy little spot. The property is just lovely and it was equipped with everything we needed. Dan was so accommodating and welcoming - we met one of his sons as well, and he was also super friendly and nice. If we ever need somewhere to stay in the area we will surely return. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Good spot

Close to everything in town. Driveway is a bit narrow, though my dually did fit it was s tight squeeze. Host was excellent, and his adult son's were also very pleasant and polite. A good place to stay.

Enjoyable stay!

We had a fabulous stay. Dan and his son were great. We had a small wrinkle when we arrived. It was late at night and they all jumped to our aid. Decatur is an adorable area. His son gave us tips of local events and places to checkout. We were I. Town for a music festival in Atlanta. This was a perfect local. We definitely stay again.

Good location

Interior was clean and totally functional with 4 month old and 8 year old. My daughter and I felt very safe. I like sitting outside, but the deck needed cleaning and some furniture you could sit on. Other than that, the owner/family were very nice and professional. Great place for even just one person (ladies of age).

Great stay!

Dan’s place is a hidden gem! The apartment was perfect for my husband, me and two sons (6 and 7) and on a hot weekend, it cooled down quick inside. The location was in a good neighborhood and about 15-20 minutes from everywhere we wanted to go. Dan was very communicative and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Great location

This is a no frills garage apartment in the heart of Decatur. It’s not fancy, but has everything a couple or three person family needs. Close to Stone Mountain. If you want to be near Atlanta, but don’t want to deal with the traffic and crowds and noise all the time, this is the perfect place!

Perfect small apartment for your Decatur stay!

I wish I’d had a place like this when I was in college. Small, one-bedroom with a sitting room and a spacious full kitchen. It’s right on the main drag, walkable to Downtown Decatur (if you like walking like I do!) but drivable to I-20. It’s older and is in the process of getting upgraded, but it has what you need for a cozy home away from home. We rented for the parent orientation at Agnes Scott...perfect home base for the 2 of us while getting our Scottie settled in. I slept so well those 2 days! Don’t be scared of the one window AC unit...it’s enough to keep it comfortable in the dog days of August. Got to meet the owner as he popped by to make sure we were getting settled all right. Next time I need to visit Decatur for a couple of days I would definitely rent again!
