House is cute with everything you need for your stay. Check in and check out was an easy process. They had a variety of games and toys for children and adults to play. Me and my friend only stayed one night for a concert, but would recommend this house for anyone staying in Birmingham!!

Perfect end to our road trip

My husband and I spent 36 hours in Birmingham on our way home to Virginia from Louisiana. The bungalow was immaculate, cozy, and welcoming, with a delightful living room and super comfy bedroom.The house was near to the sights we wanted to see as well as some great restaurants, and the neighborhood was really nice.All in all, we had a great stay in Avondale!

Disappointed

House was very unclean: furniture (couch, all chairs, rugs) were all soiled and in poor quality - falling apart etc. House smelled unclean. Kitchen was not well stocked to make meals; fridge was dirty. Outdoor area was very overgrown and not safe for children to play in, due to nails sticking out of ground in areas. The back patio furniture and rugs were soiled and all was overall not kept up. When I stay away from home and pay for cleaning services, fees, rent, etc. I expect for at minimum, cleanliness. This house did not offer that. I would not recommend anyone stay here. I did reach out to the owners as soon as we arrived about the unclean furniture and did not hear back from anyone.

Great option for a small family!

This place was amazing for our family! Had everything we needed and more for our one year old. Toys, pack n play, car seat, safety plugs in the walls and more. Kitchen was well stocked with cast-iron skillet and cooking utensils. The neighborhood was really nice to walk through in the evening. We highly recommend this location if looking for a cozy home in Birmingham.

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.
