Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
DECATUR Get Away is a private condo-style rental set in the heart of North Decatur, Georgia, just a short drive from Emory University and roughly 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta. Marketed as a smoke-free retreat, the property bills itself as a centrally located home base for exploring shopping, dining, and entertainment throughout the Decatur area. It's an owner-managed unit rather than a traditional hotel, with a strict no-parties and no-pets policy.
Amenities & Recreation
Guests have access to a fitness center, and the listing describes the condo complex as including a pool and balcony for relaxing outdoors. The entire property is smoke-free, appealing to guests who prefer a clean-air environment. These recreational extras give the stay a residential, resort-lite feel rather than that of a standard hotel room.
Dining
The condo sits within easy walking distance of a wide range of dining options, including DESI TADKA Indian Restaurant, TouchDown Wings, Bad Daddy's Burger Bar, Hai Chinese Restaurant, City Barbeque, Louisiana Bistreaux Seafood Kitchen, Wheelhouse Craft Pub and Kitchen, Kabob-ish, and gusto! healthy bowls & wraps. This concentration of restaurants within roughly 900 meters means guests can sample cuisines from Cajun to Mediterranean to barbecue without needing a car.
Location & Transit
Multiple bus stations sit within a few hundred meters of the property, including stops on N Decatur Rd at Wash Lively Cir, N Decatur Rd at Church St, and Winn Way at N Decatur Rd, making local transit easy to access. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is about 22 kilometers away, consistent with the listing's claim of a roughly 15-minute trip to Atlanta. The location near Emory University and central Decatur makes it convenient for visiting family, shopping, and spa or entertainment activities nearby.
Best for
This property suits travelers visiting family or friends in the Decatur/Emory area, thanks to its central location and easy walking access to numerous restaurants and bus stops. It also fits guests who want a residential-style stay with pool and gym access rather than a traditional hotel, and who don't need to bring pets or host large gatherings, given the no-parties, no-pets policy.
Travel tips
Several bus stations are within a five-minute walk (Wash Lively Cir, Church St, and Winn Way stops on N Decatur Rd), so guests without a car can still get around easily. Budget about 15 minutes for the drive into downtown Atlanta and roughly 22 kilometers to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Since numerous restaurants cluster within a few hundred meters, plan on walking to meals rather than driving.
