If you have to be near UAB in Birmingham Alabama… this is the house to choose. Everything is there to make for an easy stay. If you are making a trip for the Botanical Gardens or Zoo… this is a great place to stay as well! Should I ever need to return to Birmingham, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Birmingham Trip
The trip itself was great but we had a few hiccups. Let me start by saying I contacted Britt before booking and asked if we could bring our large dog with us (he is over the 50 lb weight limit). She immediately responded yes, which was a big weight off my shoulders. So a great start. I then sent 3 more questions to ask if they had a Pack n Play and never heard back. We also never got check-in instructions. I messaged and called about that too, but did not hear back. My husband was able to locate her husband’s phone number and called him. He apologized and told us that the VRBO app had been having issues so that’s why we hadn’t gotten the instructions, then texted them. He also said he wasn’t sure on the Pack N Play but that he would get back to us—though we should go ahead and plan to bring one. We did—because we never heard back from him. (Of course we found one in the closet once we were there). I would have brushed all that aside as no big deal. People are busy and apps mess up. But when we got to the house, it was VERY unclean and clearly not kept up well. The dishes had not been cleared out of the dishwasher. There were old sheets in the dryer that hadn’t been dried enough so we’re starting to stink. The backyard was totally overgrown. The bed frame of one bed was zip tied together. The bathroom shower liner was orange and the rod rusted. I did not feel comfortable letting my kids bathe there. And there were open containers of products left behind from others all over.

Excellent home for parents with young children.
The location is great. Friendly neighbors everyone would wave or say hi. We stayed with our 2.5year old and they had a basket full of toys and TV with accounts set up for kids. My family enjoyed the house and the fact that it's close to a park and the city made it convenient. I stayed here because I needed to be near USB hospital and it was a 8-10 minute drive.

Cottage in beautiful neighborhood
Well appointed cottage a couple of blocks off a busy street with easy access to the hospitals, downtown & clubs. Home is nicely decorated with a welcoming swing on the front porch. The neighborhood is peaceful and safe & fantastic for walking with a park 2 blocks away. Options for breakfast, lunch and dinner are also close by. The General is a quaint coffee shop with good breakfasts and a lovely gift shop. Communication with the owner was easy and swift. Washcloths and bath/shower soap were in short supply but the onsite washer & dryer accommodated that. We’ll be back!

Just as described this was a charming bungalow home in a nice Avondale neighborhood. We were in town for a quick night stay to catch a show at the Avondale Brewery and it was an easy 14 minute walk to get there. The amenities were fine, water was hot, owners provided free streaming services on the tv and the bed was comfortable. We would def rent again when we come back to BHam!!

Great Place
We needed a quiet, comfortable house while our son recovered from knee surgery in Birmingham.The house was perfect. In a very nice, safe neighborhood. Due to weather, we needed to extend our stay. The owners were so easy to work and communicate with to make this happen. If you looking for a “home” for a short stay or even an extended stay I would highly recommend it!!

Great house in a great location
Had to be in town for a few days for work with the family. We enjoyed our stay and the location was great. The only thing we were a little disappointed in was the house was not as clean as we are accustomed to with VRBO, a lot of dirt and dust on the floors and some surfaces. Other than that, great stay!

Great house, perfect location
The house is very nice. The neighborhood is great. The location is spectacular, you can walk to restaurants, breweries, music. It is a short drive to Barber Motorsports Park, we went there for motorcycle races. Downtown isn't far. The house itself is very nice, everything was clean, it has TV (Apple Tv). Overall great place.

Great place to stay
We stayed the weekend for our son's University of Alabama graduation and found our stay to be convenient to Tuscaloosa and airport plus more reasonable than staying in Tuscaloosa for graduation. House was perfect for a couple and we even had the extra bedroom for larger families. I would recommend this house to others for trips to Alabama.

Great property. Old house with charm. Slept well. Quiet neighborhood. Beautiful homes everywhere. Great access to Avondale restaurants. Enjoyed the porch swing in the front and the privacy of the backyard. Had trouble with the appletv but enjoyed reading instead. Bathroom could use a vent fan, but an all around solid house.
