We loved our stay at George Street. It was very clean and comfy. The kitchen had coffee, creamer and grits ready to share. Our kids all loved staying in the same room together! The managing company was always very quick to communicate with us. If we find our way back to Mobile, we will definitely stay here again.

A lovely Respite
I was so pleased with this Vrbo property. I was in town to plan my mother's funeral and I needed extra accommodations for myself and friends that were coming in town from Atlanta. This property was clean and comfortable and the host was an absolute doll to communicate with.

Bridesmaids Stay
This property was the perfect place for my daughter and her bridesmaids to stay for her wedding weekend! It provided just the right set up for them to spend time and get ready together! The sleeping porch was a big hit! It was precious, clean, and the host was so pleasant to work with! Highly recommend!

Our review
Room sizes where great! Very convenient, love the historical area.
Enjoyed the front porch.
Somethings that I believe could use attention. There needs to be extra blankets for the beds. Not having grab rails in the shower nor grip strips on the tub, is dangerous. The 2nd bathroom has a loose toilet seat and a broken tub spout. The pull cord to the blinds in the bathroom is broke off. The lamp switch in the 2nd bedroom was broke. In the picture it shows a coffee pot, so I brought coffee n filters, then i get there and its a keurig. Wish I would of known that. With that all being said... I would come back and we loved Mobile. Thank You.
