CHRIS H.

Disliked: Cleanliness

It definitely has potential to be a good listing. The host is not very good, avoid staying here.

The property is in the flight path of every plane landing in Birmingham. The host represents being pet friendly yets scalps for it when given the chance. The bed frame was broken upon arrival, we made do. He wants to charge for his thrift store finds. Be aware of this money maker, not as advertised. Rent from another, your welcome. VRBO should ban this host.

Nice & spacious

Everything was very nice. We love to cook and were impressed with the spice and seasoning that were available . We truly enjoy the sunroom as well as this location was perfect for our girls weekend. Was 15 -20 minutes away from all our events. We plan to stay every time we gather in Birmingham.

Graduation weekend

A great place for our family to gather to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from UAB. House was spacious and everything just as described. All the little extras made the house feel like home.

Spacious and convenient

Really enjoyed our time, communication could’ve been slightly more timely but the space itself was great and fit our needs. We really enjoyed our stay in Birmingham and strongly recommend the house!
