It has a decently sized kitchen with a dishwasher and a floor-to-ceiling window by the front door. Cats are allowed, but no dogs (or birds!). It’s on multiple bus lines, too.

Between Lake City and Northgate, this spacey-looking backyard studio cottage has vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and hardwood floors. No word on parking of any kind, but the area is on the 75 line. Cats are allowed. One major drawback: No laundry onsite means heading to a laundromat. Rent is $1,350 per month.
