This cottage is located 3 miles northeast of the heart of downtown Athens and the Arch (entrance to the University of Georgia north campus.) The neighborhood is rural and peaceful. A new Super Kroger just opened a half-a-mile from here with all the accompanying eateries surrounding this anchor development. Even though our Airbnb is only 3 miles to the Arch in downtown Athens, it is still fairly rural, so you'll probably want to bring a car. Or, you can catch an Uber to wherever you need to go. For those who would rather try our public transportation, a public bus does run down the road in front of our house (heading downtown) about every hour and will stop if you flag it down - no, really. ++++Hey ya'll, the following information is designed to clearly communicate host expectations and to also provide you with important information regarding this Airbnb.
