Graduation Weekend
The apartment was clean and comfortable but extremely overpriced. They are located next to a railroad crossing so you hear the train and the blaring horn all night. I also experienced a fire alarm test that no on warned me about. I’ve stayed at brand new condos with better locations for the same price.

Great Stay at a nice location.
We were in town for an Alabama Gymnastics Meet and this VRBO was a very nice and comfortable place to stay and the location was close to everything. The management was very attentive and kind!
